- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in West Hanney
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. The work covers drain trays, internal panels and supply and extract fans, and people most often call us about units that have only ever had filter changes and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

West Hanney questions
Will you come out to West Hanney?
Yes, West Hanney 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 do AHU cleaning in West Hanney?
Yes, we work in West Hanney and the places around it. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details of the site.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. We cannot clean a running unit, so it’s switched off and made safe first. We agree the timing with your site team.
Can you clean the AHU out of hours?
Yes, if daytime working is not practical. We plan the shutdown window with you.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
We clean the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and internal casing. Filters are cleaned or changed as agreed in the quote.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log.

What else we do in West Hanney
Why act early in West Hanney
Dirt left in an air handling unit doesn’t stay in the unit. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

How we price AHU cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in West Hanney
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
How the job changes from site to site
Filters
Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and clean the filter housing.
Drain trays
A tray that doesn’t drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.
