How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Danesfield run smoothly.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; 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.
Advice
AHU cleaning in Danesfield, 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, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. The work covers drain trays, supply and extract fans and internal panels, and people most often call us about dirty fans and fan housings and dirty filters cutting the airflow.
Somewhere as small as Danesfield, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
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.

What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. We photograph them for the report.
What we are called out for in Danesfield
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Danesfield, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Marlow Community Hospital (about 2.5 miles north-east).

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Questions from Danesfield
Can ventilation in schools around Danesfield be cleaned out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Danesfield, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work at weekends in Danesfield?

Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
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.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
Typically the clean takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. The shutdown is planned to fit, out of hours if needed.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
