AHU cleaning in Shalmsford Street
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 the report shows exactly what was done. We’re often asked to deal with dirty fans and fan housings and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, on heating and cooling coils, drain trays and filter sections.
For a building near Shalmsford Street, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The method doesn’t change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
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, and we are fully insured.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Shalmsford Street
Can the work in Shalmsford Street be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Shalmsford Street can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you do AHU cleaning in Shalmsford Street?
Yes, Shalmsford Street is covered. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day of the survey details.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, with any faults we noticed.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
That is set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Part by part
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. Their condition goes into the report with pictures so you can decide on any repairs.
How we price AHU cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.

- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Building management system faults
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- 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.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
