AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ryeish Green
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. 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 have air handling units due a clean after building work and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, we can put it right.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What affects the quote in Ryeish Green
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Need a price for AHU cleaning? Please call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site. We will talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
How the visit works
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. 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 Ryeish Green.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

What we are called out for in Ryeish Green
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For the people using the building every day, that is the air they breathe for hours on end.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
Ventilation work in and around Ryeish Green is risk-based: inspect, then clean what needs it.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- A system that’s undersized for the building
- Building management system faults
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Drain trays
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ryeish Green
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
When we’ve closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to make sure it stays clear.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.
