AHU cleaning in Wickham St Paul, done properly
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, in the airstream that feeds the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. If you’re dealing with plant that needs cleaning after a refit and odours coming through the supply air, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Wickham St Paul, ducted ventilation is usually 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.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Wickham St Paul
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Visits to a village like Wickham St Paul 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 are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Stick to the filter change plan
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can quote for both.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
How we price AHU cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
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 will explain each part.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
