How we handle AHU cleaning in West Street
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so the report shows exactly what was done. The work covers filter sections, supply and extract fans and drain trays, and people most often call us about filters that are clogged or overdue and air handling units due a clean after building work.
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 paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in West Street
Is West Street within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in West Street in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of West Street. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
How long will the unit be out of action?
Cleaning takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Bigger units can be phased, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email to talk it through.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
That is set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
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 happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one, and we clear up before we go. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to West Street.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
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.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in West Street
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
Wherever a school like The Lenham School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Questions to ask before you book
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether VAT is included
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
What happens if it’s left?
Standing water in a drain tray does not clear itself. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. In a place like West Street, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What the work involves, part by part
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
