How we handle AHU cleaning in Stratfield Mortimer
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, in the airstream that feeds the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. The work covers filter sections, dampers and louvres and drain trays, and common reasons people get in touch are dirty fans and fan housings and air handling units never cleaned inside.
Work in a small place like Stratfield Mortimer starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, 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 Stratfield Mortimer
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, taking into account how dirty it was. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.
FAQs for Stratfield Mortimer
Is Stratfield Mortimer within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stratfield Mortimer is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work overnight in Stratfield Mortimer?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. We recommend a next date in each report.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after pictures. Keep them in the maintenance log.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, 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 Stratfield Mortimer and turn up when the site is quiet.

How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
When to call us in Stratfield Mortimer
Whatever surrounds a building in Stratfield Mortimer, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and some travels further into the unit.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Odours coming through the supply air
If you manage shops or offices close to Mortimer station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.

Part by part
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. Cleaning keeps it running as intended.
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
