How we price AHU cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
About our AHU cleaning in Drellingore
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with photos, so the report shows exactly what was done. Common call-outs are for filters that are clogged or overdue and dirty fans and fan housings, on internal panels, dampers and louvres and filter sections.
In a village or hamlet like Drellingore, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Report water on the plant room floor
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Make sure condensate is draining away
Stick to the filter change schedule, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.

How the job changes from site to site
Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.
Drain trays
A tray that doesn’t drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.
Questions from Drellingore
Can the work in Drellingore be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Drellingore needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you clean school ventilation in Drellingore during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Drellingore, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
What do you clean inside the unit?
We clean the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and internal casing. Filters are cleaned or changed as agreed in the quote.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes, for the time we are working on it. We can work evenings, overnight or at weekends to keep disruption down.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Drellingore
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and that’s where slime and odours start.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Drellingore, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Royal Victoria Hospital (about 2.9 miles south-west).

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
