AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Culham
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with photos, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. Typical jobs include filters that are clogged or overdue and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, on supply and extract fans, filter sections and heating and cooling coils.
For a building in or near Culham, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, especially where there’s been moisture. A planned visit to Culham is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Culham questions
Will you come out to Culham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Culham is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can ventilation in schools around Culham be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Culham. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
The main parts are the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and inside of the casing. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.
What happens on the day
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Culham knowing what to expect.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Culham?
It matters for two reasons: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For the people using the building every day, that’s the air they breathe for hours on end.
Look out for any of the following:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
