About our AHU cleaning in Amersham
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 pictures or on site, followed by a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. We’re often asked to deal with leaves and litter drawn into the unit and odours coming through the supply air, on dampers and louvres, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans.
For a school, surgery or office in Amersham, cleaning is planned around opening hours: evenings, weekends or school holidays.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Common problems we fix in Amersham
Air handling units are usually tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
Workplaces around Amersham station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.

- When the next visit should be, and why
Why it’s worth doing now in Amersham
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt does not stay put. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. Whatever the system, dirt and wear only get worse.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Why book with us

- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

What else we do in Amersham
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How the job changes from site to site
Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. Access is planned during the survey so the quote reflects it.
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
What we do, step by step
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 pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. We arrive in Amersham once you’ve closed and leave the site ready for the morning.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Amersham
Can you do AHU cleaning in Amersham?

Can you clean school ventilation in Amersham during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 16 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Amersham, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
It takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and the quote will give you a clear idea.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. We cannot clean a running unit, so it’s switched off and made safe first. We agree the timing with your site team.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What information do you need?
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.
