AHU cleaning in Upper Halling, done properly
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. If you have filters that are clogged or overdue and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake, we can put it right, from supply and extract fans, dampers and louvres and internal panels onwards.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Report water on the plant room floor
Stick to the filter change schedule, because good filters protect everything downstream. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
FAQs for Upper Halling

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in Upper Halling?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Upper Halling doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. We’ll tell you after the survey whether the ducts need it.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Upper Halling can be planned properly.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
When to call us in Upper Halling
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, a little more each month.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Drain trays holding standing water
Wherever a school like Halling Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we’re done before the unit is handed back.
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
