About our AHU cleaning in Burghfield Common
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. If you have debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and filters that are clogged or overdue, we can help, from supply and extract fans, internal panels and dampers and louvres onwards.
In a place like Burghfield Common, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, where they’re easy to forget. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Everything the job in Burghfield Common needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Part by part
Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
Honest limits
AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
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.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Burghfield Common
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Burghfield Common
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, a little more each month.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Garland Junior School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
