How we handle AHU cleaning in Throwley Forstal
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, right in the path of the air going into the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. The work covers filter sections, drain trays and supply and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are condensate trays that won’t empty and dirty fans and fan housings.
For a building in or near Throwley Forstal, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What else we do in Throwley Forstal
How we price AHU cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Drain trays

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can quote for both.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
Why deal with it now?
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, especially where there’s been moisture. If the system at a site near Throwley Forstal fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
