AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Chicheley
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’re dealing with dirty coils holding back the airflow and dust built up on fan impellers, we can help.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Book the next check in line with the report
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.

What else we do in Chicheley
Why act early in Chicheley
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. The result is extra wear and a building that does not feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. A planned visit to Chicheley is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Chicheley
Can the work in Chicheley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Chicheley keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you do AHU cleaning in Chicheley?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Chicheley included. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details of the site.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
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. We plan the shutdown around that, including evenings or weekends.
What we’re called out for in Chicheley
Filters that aren’t changed or cleaned on time clog up, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
Wherever a school like Sherington Church of England School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Somewhere like Chicheley, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Get a fixed quote

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
