AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Staple
If the units serving a building in Staple have only had filter changes for years, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full clean deals with all of it. The work covers drain trays, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils, and the jobs we see most are rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris.
Work in a small place like Staple starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Staple
Can ventilation in schools around Staple be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Staple, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.
Do you work overnight in Staple?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Staple does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, with any faults we noticed.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.

What happens if it’s left?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. The result is extra wear and a building that doesn’t feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Staple is calmer for everyone.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Visits to a village like Staple are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections
The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated in agreement with the site.
Drain trays
Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
When to call us in Staple
Filters that are not changed or cleaned on time clog up, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
For sites in and around Staple, the units and the ductwork are both looked at.
