What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Birchett's Green.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.

When to call us in Birchett's Green
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and slime and smells soon follow.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
For schools like Uplands Community College, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

What the work involves, part by part
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe with your site team.
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
Why it’s worth doing now in Birchett's Green
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, particularly where damp has made it stick. If the system at a site near Birchett's Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

What affects the quote in Birchett's Green
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
