AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Arborfield Garrison
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so the report shows exactly what was done. Typical jobs include intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, across heating and cooling coils, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans.
Around a place like Arborfield Garrison, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased.

- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- 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.
Before we arrive

- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Do you need AHU cleaning in Arborfield Garrison?
Whatever surrounds a building in Arborfield Garrison, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and some travels further into the unit.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
School buildings such as Bohunt School Wokingham are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

- What paperwork you get at the end
Part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe in agreement with the site.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
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.
