AHU cleaning in Upper Green, done properly
If the units serving a building in Upper Green have only had filter changes for years, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full clean deals with all of it. If you have air handling units due a clean after building work and odours coming through the supply air, we can help, from internal panels, heating and cooling coils and drain trays onwards.
Work in a small place like Upper Green starts with agreeing access and timings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.
What affects the quote in Upper Green
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Common problems we fix in Upper Green
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 Green, that is air they breathe for hours at a time.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Odours coming through the supply air
For schools like Inkpen Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
What to look for in a quote
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote shows VAT
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. In a small place like Upper Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Different parts, different methods
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that will not bend or flatten the fins.
Drain trays
Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
Questions from Upper Green
Is Upper Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Upper Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Upper Green after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Upper Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes, while the clean is under way. Out-of-hours work is available so the building is not left without ventilation when it’s busy.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can quote for both.
Do you repair air handling units?
Mechanical repairs to the unit are for your HVAC maintenance contractor. We’ll flag anything we notice during the clean.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Building management system faults
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.

What else we do in Upper Green
What happens if it’s left?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, especially where there’s been moisture. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
