What affects the quote in Grendon Underwood
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
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 make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
AHU cleaning in Grendon Underwood
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. If you have blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and air handling units with blocked filters, we can put it right.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Grendon Underwood and across Buckinghamshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What we are called out for in Grendon Underwood
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it doesn’t always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
School buildings such as Grendon Underwood Combined School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
What your quote should include
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the price is fixed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the quote shows VAT
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Book the next check in line with the report
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to make sure it stays clear.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
Questions from Grendon Underwood
Do you work overnight in Grendon Underwood?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you clean school ventilation in Grendon Underwood during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Grendon Underwood. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes, for the time we are working on it. Out-of-hours work is available so the building isn’t left without ventilation when it’s busy.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. We’ll tell you after the survey whether the ducts need it.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.

- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
