How we handle AHU cleaning in Binfield
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. If you have units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and drain trays holding standing water, we can help, from filter sections, drain trays and heating and cooling coils onwards.
In a place like Binfield, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, out of sight and easy to overlook. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Common problems we fix in Binfield
Air handling units are usually tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings, so they’re easy to forget about. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
For schools like Binfield Church of England Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether VAT is included
What happens if it’s left?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. The result is extra wear and a building that doesn’t feel as comfortable, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. A quieter site near Binfield still needs its system looked after.
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 any work starts.

- A written report with photos after each visit

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. A site near Binfield usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
