AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Great Kimble
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Great Kimble and the rest of Buckinghamshire, 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 are dealing with plant that has been serviced but not cleaned and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs, we can help, from supply and extract fans, internal panels and drain trays onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re 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.

What happens if it’s left?
Standing water in a drain tray does not clear itself. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Full insurance on every job
- A fixed price before any work starts

When to call us in Great Kimble
It matters for two reasons: 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.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
For workplaces around Little Kimble station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What insurance they carry
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Somewhere like Great Kimble, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

What else we do in Great Kimble
Different parts, different methods
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
Internal casing and panels
Access doors and panels are opened in turn and closed properly afterwards, and check every one is shut.

Great Kimble: your questions answered
Can you come to Great Kimble after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Great Kimble needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Great Kimble?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Great Kimble included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, and new panels can be fitted.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, with any faults we noticed.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
