Are you accredited?

Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, with new panels fitted where necessary.
Do you offer emergency callouts?

Do you repair air handling units?
Mechanical repairs to the unit are for your HVAC maintenance contractor. We clean the unit and report anything we see that needs attention.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
AHU cleaning in Stambourne
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. Typical jobs include dust-coated heating and cooling coils and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays, across dampers and louvres, internal panels and supply and extract fans.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the job changes from site to site
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
How we price AHU cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere as small as Stambourne, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Advice
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A system that’s undersized for the building
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.
