Coleshill: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Coleshill?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Coleshill included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you cover Coleshill for AHU cleaning?
Yes, we work in Coleshill and the places around it. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few photos of the system.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. We recommend a next date in each report.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes, while the clean is under way. Out-of-hours work is available so the building is not left without ventilation when it’s busy.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you work evenings or weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and weekends, so the building keeps running in the day.
AHU cleaning in Coleshill, done properly
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. We’re often asked to deal with intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and filters that are clogged or overdue, across dampers and louvres, drain trays and supply and extract fans.
For a building in or near Coleshill, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Coleshill before we set off.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get 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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
When to call us in Coleshill
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids, so they’re easy to forget about. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
Healthcare buildings such as Amersham Hospital, about 1.1 miles north, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Coleshill, yours matters too.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, taking into account how dirty it was. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
Why deal with it now?
When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. It also means the next inspection has less to find. Planning a trip to Coleshill ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
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.

Older trays can corrode and start leaking. Their condition goes into the report with photos so repairs can be planned.
Rooftop and plant room units
Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. We protect the area below before opening them.

What AHU cleaning looks like in Coleshill
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 5 care, childcare and hospital premises serving food across Coleshill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. At about 25 miles from central London, Coleshill sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. For Coleshill, the closest hospital is Amersham Hospital, roughly 1.1 miles north. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
Wherever a school like Coleshill Church of England Infant School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
