AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Burdrop
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, with the unit switched off and made safe first. The work covers drain trays, supply and extract fans and filter sections, and people most often call us about odours coming through the supply air and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover.
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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Why deal with it now?
A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. It also means the next inspection has less to find. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Burdrop is calmer for everyone.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Take a look at what affects the cost and how to check a contractor.
How the job changes from site to site
Rooftop and plant room units
Many AHUs sit on roofs or in plant rooms with limited access. Access is planned during the survey, before we quote.
Internal casing and panels
We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we’re done, and check every one is shut.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Burdrop
Can you get to a site in Burdrop?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Burdrop is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you work in Burdrop outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Burdrop can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you repair air handling units?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. Any faults we notice are recorded for your maintenance team to follow up.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Burdrop and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Somewhere like Burdrop, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting 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 photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

What we’re called out for in Burdrop
Air handling units are usually tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
Around Burdrop, as anywhere, ventilation cleaning begins with an inspection.

How we price AHU cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
