AHU cleaning in Tadmarton, done properly
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. Common call-outs are for plant that needs cleaning after a refit and dirty filters cutting the airflow, on dampers and louvres, supply and extract fans and heating and cooling coils.
Somewhere as small as Tadmarton, ducted ventilation is usually 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 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. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Tadmarton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we have finished. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to confirm water is draining away.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
Leave it or put it right?
Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. If the system at a site near Tadmarton fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Take a look at what affects the cost and our accreditations and certificates.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

When to call us in Tadmarton
Air handling units are typically tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Dust built up on fan impellers
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Horton General Hospital (about 4 miles east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

What affects the quote in Tadmarton
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
