AHU cleaning in Stisted
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, right in the path of the air going into the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. If you have filters that are clogged or overdue and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, we can help, from heating and cooling coils, drain trays and dampers and louvres onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

FAQs for Stisted
Can the work in Stisted be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Stisted can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can you get to a site in Stisted?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stisted included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. We can’t clean a running unit, so it’s switched off and made safe first. We agree the timing with your site team.
Part by part
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and the housing around them is cleaned too.
Internal casing and panels
We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we’re done, and check every one is shut.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.

Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, especially where there’s been moisture. In a small place like Stisted, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Stisted
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
