Air handling unit cleaning in Tye Green, Essex

- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one, and we clear up before we go. The timing of a visit to Tye Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

AHU cleaning in Tye Green, done properly
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. If you have dust built up on fan impellers and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Tye Green, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Tye Green?
It matters for two reasons: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For the people using the building every day, that is the air they breathe for hours on end.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
Saffron Walden Community Hospital, about 3.3 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Tye Green, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Proof of insurance
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
Why act early in Tye Green
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. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Tye Green is calmer for everyone.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Different parts, different methods
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. We record their condition with photos so repairs can be planned.
Questions from Tye Green
Do you work in villages like Tye Green?
Yes, Tye Green is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can a school’s ventilation in Tye Green be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Tye Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
It takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Size, layout and how dirty it is decide the rest, and the quote will give you a clear idea.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
