About our AHU cleaning in Windmill Hill
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, right in the path of the air going into the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. If you have dirty fans and fan housings and condensate trays that won’t empty, we can help, from filter sections, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans onwards.
For a building in or near Windmill Hill, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
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. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Windmill Hill: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Windmill Hill?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Windmill Hill can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you offer AHU cleaning in Windmill Hill?
Yes, we work in Windmill Hill and the places around it. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details of the site.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, and new panels can be fitted.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after photos. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Windmill Hill
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What the work involves, part by part
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.

Why act early in Windmill Hill
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. In a place like Windmill Hill, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What we are called out for in Windmill Hill
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For the people using the building every day, that is the air they breathe for hours on end.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Dirty fans and fan housings
Hospitals such as Amberstone Hospital (about 2.8 miles west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Windmill Hill are no different.
Before you book anyone
- What insurance they carry
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether a survey comes first
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive 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 before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Somewhere as small as Windmill Hill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
