How we handle AHU cleaning in Great Shefford
No two plant rooms are the same, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. Every job starts with a survey, from pictures or on site, followed by a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. If you are dealing with blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and air handling units never cleaned inside, we can help, from filter sections, supply and extract fans and heating and cooling coils onwards.
For a building in or near Great Shefford, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, based on what we found. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.

What affects the quote in Great Shefford
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It 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. Somewhere like Great Shefford, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area

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, you get a fixed price before we start.
Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Great Shefford
Can you come to Great Shefford after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Great Shefford needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Great Shefford in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes, we work in Great Shefford and the places around it. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details of the site.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you repair air handling units?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We will flag anything we notice during the clean.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How long does an AHU clean take?
As a guide, it takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. We plan the shutdown around that, out of hours if needed.
What happens if it’s left?
Tenants, auditors and owners may want proof that the air handling plant is kept clean. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. In a small place like Great Shefford, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
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 we start, so there are no surprises.
