AHU Cleaning in Brize Norton
Cleaning of air handling units, including filters, coils, drain trays, fans and internal surfaces for Brize Norton, with a survey first and a report with pictures at the end. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
About our AHU cleaning in Brize Norton
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. We look at the unit first, from pictures or a site visit, and give you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. Typical jobs include air handling units due a clean after building work and coils clogged with dust and debris, across supply and extract fans, heating and cooling coils and filter sections.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What staff can safely do
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. Leave those to 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’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Brize Norton buildings and their air
Food Standards Agency records list about 10 schools, colleges and universities and about 4 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises registered as food businesses in and around Brize Norton, up to about a mile and a half out. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting.
For schools like Brize Norton Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Brize Norton questions
Do you work overnight in Brize Norton?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Brize Norton needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Brize Norton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Brize Norton included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
That’s set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What we are called out for in Brize Norton
It matters for two reasons: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Brize Norton, that’s air they breathe for hours at a time.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
In Brize Norton, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.
Before you book anyone
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether a written report and photos are included

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What the work involves, part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. For a village or hamlet like Brize Norton, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
