How we handle AHU cleaning in Tilford Reeds
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so the report shows exactly what was done. Common call-outs are for air handling units due a clean after building work and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, on internal panels, drain trays and heating and cooling coils.
In a village or hamlet like Tilford Reeds, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Tilford Reeds?
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
School buildings such as All Saints CofE Aided Infant School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
Questions to ask before booking
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What insurance they carry
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.

FAQs for Tilford Reeds
Do you clean school ventilation in Tilford Reeds in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Tilford Reeds, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
That is set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, and new panels can be fitted.

Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tilford Reeds
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Tilford Reeds can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Different parts, different methods
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
