How we handle AHU cleaning in Puckaster
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with photos, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. If you are dealing with blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, we can put it right, from supply and extract fans, internal panels and filter sections onwards.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Puckaster: your questions answered
Do you offer AHU cleaning in Puckaster?
Yes, Puckaster is covered. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few details of the site.
Do you cover smaller places like Puckaster?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Can you clean without disrupting the building?
Yes, wherever it helps the building. We plan the shutdown window with you.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
That’s set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Puckaster before we set off.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Puckaster
No filter stops everything. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, a little more each month.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
Wherever a school like Niton Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
Part by part
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. Their condition goes into the report with photos so repairs can be planned.
Rooftop and plant room units
Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. We protect the area below before opening them.
What happens if it’s left?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, particularly where damp has made it stick. With notice, the visit to Puckaster can be fitted around your bookings and events.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
