AHU cleaning in Rushlake Green, done properly
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with pictures, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. The work covers drain trays, supply and extract fans and filter sections, and common reasons people get in touch are air handling units with blocked filters and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris.
For a building in or near Rushlake Green, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts, and we clear up before we go. The timing of a visit to Rushlake Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

Advice
What affects the quote in Rushlake Green
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Stick to the filter change plan
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
Different parts, different methods
Heating and cooling coils
Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. We clean them with care so the fins aren’t damaged.
Rooftop and plant room units
Many AHUs sit on roofs or in plant rooms with limited access. We plan safe access as part of the survey, before we quote.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Rushlake Green?
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Air handling units with blocked filters
Hellingly Hospital, about 4.3 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Rushlake Green, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
What to look for in a quote
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate

- Whether VAT is included
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
