AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Forest Park
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Forest Park and the rest of Bracknell Forest, 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 leaves and litter drawn into the unit and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs, we can help.
In a place like Forest Park, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, where they’re easy to forget. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a site near Forest Park, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

How we price AHU cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

Ventilation in Forest Park buildings
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 9 schools, colleges and universities and about 8 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises serving food across Forest Park and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. About 28 miles out from central London, Forest Park is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Forest Park’s nearest hospital, Heatherwood Hospital, is about 1.8 miles east.

Heatherwood Hospital, about 1.8 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Forest Park, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean. Wherever a school like Harmans Water Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

FAQs for Forest Park
Can you get to a site in Forest Park?
Yes. Forest Park is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Forest Park after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Forest Park does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you look after several sites?

How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.

Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. We’ll tell you after the survey whether the ducts need it.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
