The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Ellesborough knowing what to expect.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ellesborough
Where a building in Ellesborough has had little more than filter changes, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full clean deals with all of it. If you’re dealing with stale or musty smells from the ventilation and condensate trays that won’t empty, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Ellesborough, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and 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.

Why deal with it now?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, particularly where damp has made it stick. Planning a trip to Ellesborough ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

What affects the quote in Ellesborough
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What we’re called out for in Ellesborough
Whatever surrounds a building in Ellesborough, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and some travels further into the unit.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
School buildings such as Great Kimble Church of England School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the price is fixed
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what AHU cleaning won’t do:
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

Different parts, different methods
Drain trays
The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. We clean them with care so the fins aren’t damaged.
