How we handle AHU cleaning in Hinchley Wood
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. The work covers dampers and louvres, filter sections and internal panels, and common reasons people get in touch are filters that are clogged or overdue and coils clogged with dust and debris.
For a building near Hinchley Wood, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The method does not change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What we are called out for in Hinchley Wood
Whatever surrounds a building in Hinchley Wood, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and some travels further into the unit.
Look out for any of the following:
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
If you manage offices or shops near Hinchley Wood station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours.
What your quote should include
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Proof of insurance
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What paperwork you get at the end
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.

What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Visits to a place like Hinchley Wood are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

What affects the quote in Hinchley Wood
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
- 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.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Different parts, different methods
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and the housing around them is cleaned too.
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
