How we price AHU cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
AHU cleaning in Great Stambridge, done properly
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so the report shows exactly what was done. The work covers heating and cooling coils, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres, and common reasons people get in touch are air handling units due a clean after building work and drain trays holding standing water.
Somewhere as small as Great Stambridge, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Great Stambridge buildings and their air

What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
- Supply and extract fans
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we have finished. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to make sure it stays clear.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.
Common questions in Great Stambridge
Do you work at weekends in Great Stambridge?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Great Stambridge in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Great Stambridge, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, including anything we think needs attention.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Places near Great Stambridge
More services for Great Stambridge
Do you need AHU cleaning in Great Stambridge?
Filters that aren’t changed or cleaned on time clog up, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
If you manage a school such as Stambridge Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. The timing of a visit to Great Stambridge is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- 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.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a 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, before we start.
