Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Make sure condensate is draining away
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, based on what we found. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in West Burton
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in West Burton and the rest of West Sussex, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. 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 rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs, on filter sections, internal panels and dampers and louvres.
Somewhere as small as West Burton, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

When to call us in West Burton
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray does not fall properly, water stands in it, and that is where slime and odours start.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
School buildings such as Bury CofE Primary School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in West Burton
Is West Burton within the area you cover?
Yes, West Burton is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work in West Burton outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in West Burton can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
How long will the unit be out of action?
The work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Large plant can be split over several shifts, and you can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form to plan it.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Visits to a village like West Burton are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Why act early in West Burton
When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. It also means the next inspection has less to find. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Part by part
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
Rooftop and plant room units
Many AHUs sit on roofs or in plant rooms with limited access. Access is planned during the survey so the quote reflects it.
What a clean won’t put right
AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- A system that is undersized for the building
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.
What to send 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
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
