Shenley Church End AHU cleaning

What the work involves, part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.
Drain trays
The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. We clear standing water, clean out slime and check the outlet is draining.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shenley Church End
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. 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. Common call-outs are for coils clogged with dust and debris and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays, on heating and cooling coils, supply and extract fans and filter sections.
Around a place like Shenley Church End, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Questions from Shenley Church End
Do you work at weekends in Shenley Church End?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Shenley Church End doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can a school’s ventilation in Shenley Church End be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Shenley Church End, the Food Standards Agency lists about 17 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, and new panels can be fitted.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Shenley Church End can usually be finished without a second trip.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Book the next check in line with the report
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
