How we handle AHU cleaning in Tile Hurst
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. If you are dealing with blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and dust-coated heating and cooling coils, we can help, from dampers and louvres, heating and cooling coils and drain trays onwards.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How the job changes from site to site
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. We photograph them for the report.
Drain trays
A tray that does not drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the AHU cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. For a village or hamlet like Tile Hurst, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

Common questions in Tile Hurst
Do you work in villages like Tile Hurst?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Tile Hurst is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can a school’s ventilation in Tile Hurst be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Tile Hurst, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we cannot reach are noted in the report, with new panels fitted where necessary.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Every section that collects dirt: filters, coils, tray, fan and panels. We confirm the scope after looking at the unit.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Why act early in Tile Hurst
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. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Tile Hurst rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- Every visit written up, with pictures
