About our AHU cleaning in High Cogges
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, right in the path of the air going into the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. We’re often asked to deal with coils clogged with dust and debris and air handling units never cleaned inside, on dampers and louvres, supply and extract fans and drain trays.
For a building in or near High Cogges, 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 sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Questions from High Cogges
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in High Cogges in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of High Cogges. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can the work in High Cogges be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in High Cogges keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes, both a certificate and a report with pictures. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
Do you cover High Cogges?
Yes. We cover High Cogges and the rest of Oxfordshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. Cleaning the unit and ducts together often makes sense, and we can survey both on the same visit.
What happens if it’s left?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, particularly where damp has made it stick. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near High Cogges rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Different parts, different methods
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.
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in High Cogges knowing what to expect.
- We survey the unit from photos 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.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Common problems we fix in High Cogges
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Dirty fans and fan housings
If you manage a school such as The Blake Church of England Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- When the next visit should be, and why
What affects the quote in High Cogges
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

What a clean will not put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what AHU cleaning will not do:
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
