How the job changes from site to site
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
Rooftop and plant room units
Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. We protect the area below before opening them.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Godstow
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. If you’re dealing with plant that has been serviced but not cleaned and dirty filters cutting the airflow, we can help.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Godstow and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

AHU cleaning in Godstow: local notes
There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities, about 5 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 3 hotels and B&Bs on the FSA’s food hygiene register in and around Godstow, up to about a mile and a half out. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. Radcliffe Infirmary is the nearest hospital, about 2.1 miles south-east of Godstow. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. Godstow is about 55 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you manage a school such as Wolvercote Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, particularly where damp has made it stick. It’s simpler to plan the work at Godstow now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
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 unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Godstow run smoothly.
- 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.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Common questions in Godstow
Do you clean school ventilation in Godstow in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 5 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Godstow. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Godstow?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Godstow included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. We can’t clean a running unit, so it’s switched off and made safe first. We agree the timing with your site team.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Godstow?
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and that’s where slime and odours start.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Drain trays holding standing water
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Godstow, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Radcliffe Infirmary (about 2.1 miles south-east).
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a survey comes first
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
