AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shedfield
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, with the unit switched off and made safe first. We are often asked to deal with air handling units with blocked filters and units that have only ever had filter changes, on supply and extract fans, drain trays and heating and cooling coils.
Somewhere as small as Shedfield, ducted ventilation is typically 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
How we price AHU cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Shedfield
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What happens if it’s left?
Standing water in a drain tray does not clear itself. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. With notice, the visit to Shedfield can be fitted around your bookings and events.
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 we will price it together.

Shedfield questions
Can you come to Shedfield after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Can ventilation in schools around Shedfield be cleaned out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Shedfield. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
How long will the unit be out of action?
Cleaning takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Bigger units can be phased, so ring 0345 646 2711 or email us to talk it through.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
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 much does AHU cleaning cost in Shedfield?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
Common problems we fix in Shedfield
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
For schools like St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
