How we handle AHU cleaning in Womenswold
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, with the unit switched off and made safe first. If you have units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and drain trays holding standing water, we can help, from dampers and louvres, drain trays and internal panels onwards.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Womenswold questions
Do you cover smaller places like Womenswold?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Womenswold is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can a school’s ventilation in Womenswold be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Womenswold. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you work evenings or weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and weekends, so the building keeps running in the day.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, 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. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Womenswold.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- 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
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Womenswold?
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Womenswold, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like St Martins Hospital (about 5.8 miles north-west).

For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What the work involves, part by part
Drain trays
Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. Anything like that is recorded with pictures.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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, and that’s where we come in.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to confirm water is draining away.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
