How we handle AHU cleaning in Ulting
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Ulting and the rest of Essex, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. We’re often asked to deal with condensate trays that won’t empty and filters that are clogged or overdue, on drain trays, filter sections and internal panels.
For a building in or near Ulting, 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.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why deal with it now?
A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. It also means the next inspection has less to find. It’s simpler to plan the work at Ulting now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Ulting’s nearest hospital, Priory Hospital, is about 5.3 miles west. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Ulting knowing what to expect.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Ulting
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Ulting in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Ulting. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Do you cover smaller places like Ulting?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Ulting is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How long does an AHU clean take?
The work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Large plant can be split over several shifts, and you can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email to plan it.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
The main parts are the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and inside of the casing. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Different parts, different methods
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. We protect the area below before opening them.
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
What affects the quote in Ulting
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

What else we do in Ulting
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
