How we handle AHU cleaning in Stratfield Saye
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. The work covers dampers and louvres, heating and cooling coils and filter sections, and the jobs we see most are plant that needs cleaning after a refit and coils clogged with dust and debris.
For a building in or near Stratfield Saye, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What else we do in Stratfield Saye
What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Stick to the filter change plan
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
What happens if it’s left?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, particularly where damp has made it stick. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Common questions in Stratfield Saye
Do you cover smaller places like Stratfield Saye?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stratfield Saye included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Stratfield Saye after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
That’s set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
