What happens if it’s left?
Tenants, auditors and owners may want proof that the air handling plant is kept clean. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, ready to show anyone who asks. In a place like Totford, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

AHU cleaning in Totford
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. We’re often asked to deal with dirty coils holding back the airflow and dirty filters cutting the airflow, across dampers and louvres, filter sections and heating and cooling coils.
For a building in or near Totford, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- 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.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Totford
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and that is where slime and odours start.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
An inspection comes first for any ventilation job around Totford, so the cleaning matches what’s there.
