AHU cleaning in Sayers Common, done properly
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, right in the path of the air going into the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. We’re often asked to deal with debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, on dampers and louvres, internal panels and heating and cooling coils.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How we price AHU cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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.

How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Sayers Common can be planned properly.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area 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.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Sayers Common
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. A planned visit to Sayers Common is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
How the job changes from site to site
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. The filter section is cleaned so new or cleaned filters sit properly.
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. Cleaning keeps it running as intended.
