Do you need AHU cleaning in Radley Green?
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.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Radley Green, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Chelmsford and Essex Hospital (about 4.8 miles east).
What your quote should include

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Radley Green
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. If you have plant that needs cleaning after a refit and coils clogged with dust and debris, we can put it right, from internal panels, filter sections and heating and cooling coils onwards.
Somewhere as small as Radley Green, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What AHU cleaning can’t fix
AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on in Radley Green
- Filter sections
- Heating and cooling coils
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Radley Green.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What affects the quote in Radley Green
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.

What do you do with what you remove?

What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.

We clean the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and internal casing. Filters are cleaned or changed as agreed in the quote.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
