AHU Cleaning in East Claydon
One call covers air handling unit cleaning in East Claydon, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to East Claydon and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
How we handle AHU cleaning in East Claydon
We clean air handling units for buildings in East Claydon and across Buckinghamshire, working to TR19® Air, 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 fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as East Claydon, ducted ventilation is normally 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to confirm water is draining away.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work

Common questions in East Claydon
Will you come out to East Claydon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you clean school ventilation in East Claydon during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of East Claydon. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, and new panels can be fitted.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you repair air handling units?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. Any faults we notice are recorded so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.

What the work involves, part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. Their condition goes into the report with pictures so repairs can be planned.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
