What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
About our AHU cleaning in Bisham
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. 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 supply and extract fans, filter sections and drain trays, and common reasons people get in touch are filters that are clogged or overdue and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Bisham?
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray doesn’t fall properly, water stands in it, and slime and smells soon follow.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Air handling units with blocked filters
Marlow Community Hospital, about 1.1 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Bisham, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
How the job changes from site to site
Drain trays
A tray that doesn’t drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.
Filters
Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and the housing around them is cleaned too.

Bisham questions
Do you work in villages like Bisham?
Yes, Bisham is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can a school’s ventilation in Bisham be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Bisham. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Mechanical repairs to the unit are for your HVAC maintenance contractor. We’ll flag anything we notice during the clean.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What happens if it’s left?
If people in a building in Bisham complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. In a place like Bisham, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
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 any work starts.
