FAQs for Great Saling
Can you get to a site in Great Saling?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Great Saling after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Great Saling keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
About our AHU cleaning in Great Saling
We clean air handling units for buildings in Great Saling and across Essex, working to TR19® Air, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. If you have intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and stale or musty smells from the ventilation, we can help.
Work in a small place like Great Saling starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe in agreement with the site.
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. For a village or hamlet like Great Saling, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem 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.
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.
What affects the quote in Great Saling
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
