About our AHU cleaning in Stocks Green
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. If you are dealing with air handling units with blocked filters and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Stocks Green, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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, and that’s where we come in.
Why act early in Stocks Green
Dirt left in an air handling unit does not stay in the unit. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. With notice, the visit to Stocks Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

FAQs for Stocks Green
Can a school’s ventilation in Stocks Green be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Stocks Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work in villages like Stocks Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stocks Green is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after pictures. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What types of premises do you cover?

What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the AHU cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. For a village or hamlet like Stocks Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote

Related advice
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Stocks Green
No filter stops everything. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, a little more each month.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
School buildings such as Hildenborough Church of England Primary School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What insurance they carry
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
Drain trays
The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. We clear standing water, clean out slime and check the outlet is draining.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
