Questions from Greenham
Do you clean school ventilation in Greenham in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Greenham. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can the work in Greenham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Greenham doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you cover Greenham?
Yes. Greenham is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
AHU cleaning in Greenham, done properly
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. Typical jobs include leaves and litter drawn into the unit and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays, across drain trays, filter sections and dampers and louvres.
For a building in or near Greenham, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Visits to a village like Greenham are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- 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
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Greenham
No filter stops everything. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, building up layer by layer.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
If you manage shops or offices close to Newbury Racecourse station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Proof of insurance
- Whether VAT is included
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Why it’s worth doing now in Greenham
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- In business since 2009

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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, and that’s where we come in.
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
What affects the quote in Greenham
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Ventilation in Greenham buildings
There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities and about 11 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register across Greenham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. For Greenham, the closest hospital is West Berkshire Community Hospital, roughly 1.5 miles north-east. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. Greenham is about 53 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Greenham, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like West Berkshire Community Hospital (about 1.5 miles north-east). Wherever a school like The Willows Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Greenham is about 1 mile south-east of Newbury, in West Berkshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Greenham or further out, we cover AHU cleaning for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Greenham is one of 155 towns, villages and districts in West Berkshire we cover for AHU cleaning. Reading is in our area too, around 15 miles away.
Work in RG19 and RG14 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. If you need AHU cleaning at premises on Water Lane, Greenham Road and Draytons View or anywhere close by, we can help. If your site is just outside Greenham, we cover Sandleford (1 mile south-west), Newbury (1 mile north-west), Newtown Common (2 miles south-west), Wash Common (2 miles south-west) and Burghclere Common (2 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as Burghfield Common (11 miles east), Hungerford (9 miles west), Spencers Wood (15 miles east), Calcot (12 miles east), Lambourn (13 miles north-west) and Burghfield Hill (11 miles east).
Local landmarks in Greenham
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around St Bartholomew's School, Sandleford Priory and The Old London Apprentice pub, among other places. The closest station to Greenham is Newbury Racecourse station, roughly 0.9 miles north. Nearby you’ll also find West Berkshire Community Hospital (1.5 miles north-east) and Donnington Castle (2.7 miles north-west). Not far away are Audrey's Meadow.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
