About our AHU cleaning in Sandford St Martin
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. The work covers heating and cooling coils, drain trays and internal panels, and people most often call us about fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and air handling units due a clean after building work.
Somewhere as small as Sandford St Martin, ducted ventilation is normally 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A system that’s undersized for the building
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Different parts, different methods
Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. We plan safe access as part of the survey, before we quote.
Internal casing and panels
We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we’re done, and check every one is shut.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Sandford St Martin
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
Around Sandford St Martin, an air handling unit’s drain tray is checked for standing water as a matter of course.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Why act early in Sandford St Martin

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Which sectors do you work in?

Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after pictures. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with the details in the report.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How it works
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’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Sandford St Martin knowing what to expect.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
