About our AHU cleaning in Burton End
If the units serving a building in Burton End have only had filter changes for years, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full clean deals with all of it. We’re often asked to deal with blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and odours coming through the supply air, on internal panels, drain trays and supply and extract fans.
Work in a small place like Burton End starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price AHU cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Burton End
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Odours coming through the supply air
For schools like Forest Hall School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Burton End can be planned properly.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

Questions from Burton End
Can a school’s ventilation in Burton End be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 10 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Burton End. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can the work in Burton End be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
Typically the clean takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. The shutdown is planned to fit, out of hours if needed.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. Any faults we notice are recorded for your maintenance team to follow up.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
