Honest limits
AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Internal panels
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Woodside Green
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. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. If you are dealing with leaves and litter drawn into the unit and coils clogged with dust and debris, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Woodside Green, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, 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.

Why deal with it now?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, particularly where damp has made it stick. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. We note any we find in the report.
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. We record their condition with photos so you can decide on any repairs.
Woodside Green: your questions answered
Can the work in Woodside Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Woodside Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Can a school’s ventilation in Woodside Green be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Woodside Green. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
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, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Woodside Green.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- 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.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
