AHU cleaning in Wellbrook, done properly
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, with the unit switched off and made safe first. The work covers heating and cooling coils, filter sections and supply and extract fans, and people most often call us about air handling units never cleaned inside and odours coming through the supply air.
Somewhere as small as Wellbrook, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A system that is undersized for the building
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing

Part by part
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. Cleaning keeps it running as intended.
Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
What we are called out for in Wellbrook
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
Crowborough War Memorial Hospital, about 4.6 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Wellbrook, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Wellbrook can be planned properly.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
Wellbrook: your questions answered
Can ventilation in schools around Wellbrook be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Wellbrook. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can you work in Wellbrook outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
How long will the unit be out of action?
The work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Large plant can be split over several shifts, and you can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to plan it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, and note any part we couldn’t get to. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
