AHU cleaning in Stubbles, done properly
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. We’re often asked to deal with air handling units never cleaned inside and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, across supply and extract fans, heating and cooling coils and internal panels.
Somewhere as small as Stubbles, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the job changes from site to site
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.
What affects the quote in Stubbles
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Stubbles and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

- Odours coming through the supply air
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
Every job around Stubbles ends with a record of what was cleaned and what was found.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
