About our AHU cleaning in Speedwell
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. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins aren’t flattened. If you have rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and units that have only ever had filter changes, we can help, from internal panels, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Speedwell, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, based on what we found. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.

The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Speedwell and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- A system that’s undersized for the building
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Speedwell and across Milton Keynes. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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, alongside our reports.
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 do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
FAQs for Speedwell
Can you get to a site in Speedwell?
Yes. Speedwell is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to Speedwell after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Speedwell keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, and new panels can be fitted.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How long will the unit be out of action?
The work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Large plant can be split over several shifts, so ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email to talk it through.
What we’re called out for in Speedwell
Filters that aren’t changed or cleaned on time clog up, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
Bletchley Community Hospital, about 5.9 miles west, is the nearest hospital to Speedwell, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

Filters
Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and clean the filter housing.
