Boughton Green buildings and their air
There are about 15 schools, colleges and universities and about 17 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) on the FSA’s food hygiene register within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Boughton Green. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Boughton Green is about 33 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Oakwood Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 3.1 miles north-west of Boughton Green. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.

AHU cleaning in Boughton Green
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. We are often asked to deal with fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and units that have only ever had filter changes, on filter sections, heating and cooling coils and internal panels.
For a building in or near Boughton Green, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
What AHU cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans
When to call us in Boughton Green
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray doesn’t fall properly, water stands in it, and slime and smells soon follow.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
Wherever a school like Boughton Monchelsea Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Other services in Boughton Green
Boughton Green: your questions answered
Is Boughton Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Boughton Green included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can ventilation in schools around Boughton Green be cleaned out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 15 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Boughton Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you repair air handling units?
The clean includes noting faults, but repairs sit with your maintenance contractor, with the details in the report.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Boughton Green.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why it’s worth doing now in Boughton Green
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

What affects the quote in Boughton Green
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
