AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Botolph Claydon
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. The work covers filter sections, drain trays and supply and extract fans, and people most often call us about coils clogged with dust and debris and air handling units due a clean after building work.
Somewhere as small as Botolph Claydon, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

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 call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
FAQs for Botolph Claydon
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Botolph Claydon in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Botolph Claydon. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Botolph Claydon?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Botolph Claydon is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, including anything we think needs attention.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
All the internal parts the air touches, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Botolph Claydon?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How long will the unit be out of action?
Typically the clean takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. The shutdown is planned to fit, out of hours if needed.

What we’re called out for in Botolph Claydon
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.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
For buildings in and around Botolph Claydon, TR19® Air cleaning starts with an inspection.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
