Air handling unit cleaning in Steventon End, Essex
Need AHU cleaning in Steventon End? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
AHU cleaning in Steventon End, done properly
Where a building in Steventon End has had little more than filter changes, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. Common call-outs are for dirty coils holding back the airflow and condensate trays that won’t empty, on internal panels, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans.
Work in a small place like Steventon End starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Common questions in Steventon End
Can the work in Steventon End be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Steventon End can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Steventon End in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Steventon End. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What affects the quote in Steventon End
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the AHU cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Steventon End and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Steventon End?
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
Hospitals such as Saffron Walden Community Hospital (about 3.9 miles south-west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Steventon End are no different.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
