Advice
AHU cleaning in Upper Burgate
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. The work covers internal panels, drain trays and supply and extract fans, and people most often call us about fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and stale or musty smells from the ventilation.
Work in a small place like Upper Burgate starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price AHU cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
When to call us in Upper Burgate
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Upper Burgate, that is air they breathe for hours at a time.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
In Upper Burgate, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.
What to look for in a quote
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a survey comes first
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Report water on the plant room floor
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can quote for both.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- A system that is undersized for the building
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.

Upper Burgate: your questions answered
Will you come out to Upper Burgate?
Yes, Upper Burgate is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can ventilation in schools around Upper Burgate be cleaned out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Upper Burgate. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. Cleaning the unit and ducts together often makes sense, and we can survey both on the same visit.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after pictures. Keep them in the maintenance log.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. Filters are cleaned or changed as agreed in the quote.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Part by part
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.
Rooftop and plant room units
Many AHUs sit on roofs or in plant rooms with limited access. We plan safe access as part of the survey so the quote reflects it.
Ventilation in Upper Burgate buildings
Food Standards Agency data includes about 4 schools, colleges and universities and about 9 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) across Upper Burgate and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time.
If you manage a school such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
