AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Punnett's Town
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. If you are dealing with odours coming through the supply air and condensate trays that won’t empty, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Punnett's Town, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What else we do in Punnett's Town
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Punnett's Town can be planned properly.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
What affects the quote in Punnett's Town
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
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, you get a fixed price before we start.
Why it’s worth doing now in Punnett's Town
Standing water in a drain tray doesn’t clear itself. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Punnett's Town is calmer for everyone.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Part by part
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe in agreement with the site.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Punnett's Town?
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and that is where slime and odours start.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Condensate trays that will not empty
School buildings such as Punnetts Town Community Primary School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What insurance they carry
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.

How often do AHUs need cleaning?
Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. We recommend a next date in each report.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Typically the clean takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. The shutdown is planned to fit, including evenings or weekends.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
