How we handle AHU cleaning in Sible Hedingham
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and give you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. If you are dealing with dirty fans and fan housings and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, we can help.
In a smaller place like Sible Hedingham, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are 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.

Why act early in Sible Hedingham
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, particularly where damp has made it stick. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Sible Hedingham than wait for a failure.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
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.
Sible Hedingham questions
Do you clean school ventilation in Sible Hedingham in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Sible Hedingham. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Will you come out to Sible Hedingham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Sible Hedingham is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can survey both on the same visit.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Typically the clean takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. We plan the shutdown around that, out of hours if needed.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off.

Ventilation in Sible Hedingham buildings
There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Sible Hedingham. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Sible Hedingham’s nearest hospital, Halstead Hospital, is about 2.9 miles south-east. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital.

What affects the quote in Sible Hedingham
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Different parts, different methods
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. We note any we find in the report.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
