How we handle AHU cleaning in Stebbing
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with photos, so the report shows exactly what was done. If you have units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Stebbing, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Stebbing
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stebbing
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt doesn’t stay put. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. Planning a trip to Stebbing ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Why us?
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day

What AHU cleaning looks like in Stebbing
Braintree Community Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 5.5 miles east of Stebbing. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too. At about 35 miles from central London, Stebbing sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Stebbing Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away. Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Braintree Community Hospital (about 5.5 miles east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
Stebbing is about 6 miles west of Braintree, in Essex.

What the work involves, part by part
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and the housing around them is cleaned too.
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can quote for both.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased, and we clear up before we go. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Stebbing.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Questions from Stebbing
Do you work overnight in Stebbing?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Stebbing can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you offer AHU cleaning in Stebbing?
Yes, Stebbing is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Get in touch with the details and we will arrange a survey.
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.

It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
There’s no single answer; it comes down to the building and the unit. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and we’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you repair air handling units?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. Any faults we notice are recorded so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
