What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a smaller place like Wormley, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- 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
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wormley
We clean air handling units for buildings in Wormley and across Hertfordshire, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. If you have air handling units due a clean after building work and odours coming through the supply air, we can put it right.
For a building near Wormley, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The method doesn’t change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.

What else we do in Wormley
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
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.
What AHU cleaning looks like in Wormley
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 3 schools, colleges and universities and about 6 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) serving food within about 1.5 miles of central Wormley. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Hertford County Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 5.2 miles north-west of Wormley. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. Wormley, about 16 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Hospitals such as Hertford County Hospital (about 5.2 miles north-west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Wormley are no different.

What we are called out for in Wormley
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
For schools like Wormley Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Wormley: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Wormley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Wormley included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you work in Wormley outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Wormley does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Every section that collects dirt: filters, coils, tray, fan and panels. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
How we price AHU cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Drain trays
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
