AHU cleaning in Teasley Mead
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. Common call-outs are for dirty filters cutting the airflow and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, across supply and extract fans, heating and cooling coils and dampers and louvres.
In a village or hamlet like Teasley Mead, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Teasley Mead.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.

Is Teasley Mead within the area you cover?
Yes. Teasley Mead is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. The shutdown is planned with whoever runs the building.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
As a guide, it takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. The shutdown is planned to fit, out of hours if needed.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you clean without disrupting the building?
Yes. The clean is planned around when the unit can be switched off. Healthcare and care settings are planned with staff.
What happens if it’s left?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. A fault that closes a site in a village like Teasley Mead affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Report water on the plant room floor
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Make sure condensate is draining away
When we’ve closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to confirm water is draining away.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
What the work involves, part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. We clean them with care so the fins are not damaged.
Drain trays
The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. We clear standing water, clean out slime and check the outlet is draining.
