Air handling unit cleaning in Aldermaston, West Berkshire
AHU cleaning in Aldermaston from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

How we handle AHU cleaning in Aldermaston
We clean air handling units for buildings in Aldermaston and across West Berkshire, 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 are dealing with odours coming through the supply air and coils clogged with dust and debris, we can help, from heating and cooling coils, drain trays and filter sections onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Aldermaston can be planned properly.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area

Questions from Aldermaston
Do you work at weekends in Aldermaston?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Aldermaston keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you work in villages like Aldermaston?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report for your maintenance team to follow up.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, including anything we think needs attention.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, taking into account how dirty it was. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
Leave it or put it right?
When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. It also means the next inspection has less to find. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Aldermaston is calmer for everyone.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
