AHU cleaning in Brimpton Common, done properly
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. Typical jobs include air handling units never cleaned inside and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, across filter sections, drain trays and dampers and louvres.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, taking into account how dirty it was. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.

Common problems we fix in Brimpton Common
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For the people using the building every day, that’s the air they breathe for hours on end.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
If you manage a school such as The Hurst School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- A system that is undersized for the building
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

What the work involves, part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Brimpton Common.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

- Find the previous report, if there is one

Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Brimpton Common questions
Do you work overnight in Brimpton Common?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Brimpton Common in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 6 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Brimpton Common. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Brimpton Common?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
The clean includes noting faults, but repairs sit with your maintenance contractor, with the details in the report.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after pictures. Keep them in the maintenance log.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. We recommend a next date in each report.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Berkshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
