AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Rhodes Minnis
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. If you are dealing with filters that are clogged or overdue and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Rhodes Minnis, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Rhodes Minnis questions
Can you do AHU cleaning in Rhodes Minnis?
Yes, we work in Rhodes Minnis and the places around it. Get in touch with the details and we’ll arrange a survey.
Can you work in Rhodes Minnis outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you repair air handling units?
The clean includes noting faults, but repairs sit with your maintenance contractor, with the details in the report.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we cannot reach are noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Common problems we fix in Rhodes Minnis
Whatever surrounds a building in Rhodes Minnis, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and the finer material travels on.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
Ventilation work in and around Rhodes Minnis is risk-based: inspect, then clean what needs it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Somewhere as small as Rhodes Minnis, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- 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
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Stick to the filter change plan
Stick to the filter change schedule, because good filters protect everything downstream. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.
