Oxfordshire · Air handling unit cleaning
AHU Cleaning in Ambrosden
Our technicians work in Ambrosden on cleaning of air handling units, including filters, coils, drain trays, fans and internal surfaces. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Air handling units with blocked filters
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
AHU cleaning in Ambrosden
No two plant rooms are the same, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. Every job starts with a survey, from photos or on site, followed by a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. The work covers dampers and louvres, drain trays and supply and extract fans, and people most often call us about dirty coils holding back the airflow and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays.
In a smaller place like Ambrosden, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Questions from Ambrosden
Can ventilation in schools around Ambrosden be cleaned out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Ambrosden, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Is Ambrosden within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Ambrosden is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
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 for your maintenance team to follow up.
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 maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
It takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and we’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Part by part
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. The filter section is cleaned so new or cleaned filters sit properly.
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres

How we price AHU cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Ambrosden when you book.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Get a fixed quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
