How the job changes from site to site
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. Anything like that is recorded with photos.
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that won’t bend or flatten the fins.
AHU cleaning in Dinton
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Dinton and the rest of Buckinghamshire, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. If you’re dealing with plant that has been serviced but not cleaned and drain trays holding standing water, we can put it right, from dampers and louvres, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans onwards.
Work in a small place like Dinton starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What else we do in Dinton
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Dinton buildings and their air
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 3 schools, colleges and universities serving food within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Dinton. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. Dinton is about 40 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. About 1.2 miles north-east of Dinton is St John's Hospital, the nearest hospital. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
An inspection comes first for any ventilation job around Dinton, so the cleaning matches what’s there. St John's Hospital, about 1.2 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Dinton, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can survey both.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.
How we price AHU cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
- The condition we find in the survey
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
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, before we start.
Questions from Dinton
Can you work in Dinton outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Dinton keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Dinton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
Expect it to take a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and we’ll confirm the time when we quote.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. In a small place like Dinton, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for 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, you get a fixed price before we start.
Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, especially where there’s been moisture. In a place like Dinton, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
