How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Emmbrook.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- 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
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Emmbrook
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins aren’t flattened. If you are dealing with filters that are clogged or overdue and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays, we can help, from heating and cooling coils, drain trays and filter sections onwards.
In a place like Emmbrook, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, out of sight and easy to overlook. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Questions from Emmbrook
Is Emmbrook within the area you cover?
Yes, Emmbrook is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can a school’s ventilation in Emmbrook be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 13 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Emmbrook. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and the report recommends a next date.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What AHU cleaning looks like in Emmbrook
There are about 13 schools, colleges and universities and about 23 care, childcare and hospital premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register across Emmbrook and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. For Emmbrook, the closest hospital is Wokingham Hospital, roughly 0.9 miles south. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital. Emmbrook, about 33 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If you manage shops or offices close to Wokingham station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning. Classrooms and halls at schools such as Emmbrook Infant School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
When to call us in Emmbrook
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Odours coming through the supply air
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Emmbrook, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Wokingham Hospital (about 0.9 miles south).
Questions to ask before you book
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Managing agents and facilities teams in Emmbrook
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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 pictures.
How we price AHU cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
Need a price for AHU cleaning? Please call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Different parts, different methods
Internal casing and panels
We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we are done before the unit is handed back.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. Access is planned during the survey, before we quote.
What staff can safely do
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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
