AHU cleaning in East Ilsley
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. The work covers dampers and louvres, internal panels and drain trays, and people most often call us about dirty filters cutting the airflow and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Common questions in East Ilsley
Will you come out to East Ilsley?
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 do AHU cleaning in East Ilsley?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, East Ilsley included. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day of the survey details.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, including anything we think needs attention.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
Expect it to take from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and we will confirm the time when we quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes, while the clean is under way. Out-of-hours work is available to keep disruption down.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the AHU cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Somewhere as small as East Ilsley, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
What AHU cleaning cannot fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A system that is undersized for the building
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Filter sections
Do you need AHU cleaning in East Ilsley?
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. 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:
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Drain trays holding standing water
Wherever a school like The Ilsleys Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Comparing quotes
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether VAT is included
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Report water on the plant room floor
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, based on what we found. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.
