AHU Cleaning in Tingrith
Professional AHU cleaning in and around Tingrith, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a small place like Tingrith, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading

The work covers supply and extract fans, filter sections and dampers and louvres, and the jobs we see most are odours coming through the supply air and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
Stick to the filter change schedule, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
Access doors and panels are opened in turn and closed properly afterwards, and check every one is shut.
Filters
Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and the housing around them is cleaned too.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
