How we handle AHU cleaning in Hinxton
If the units serving a building in Hinxton have only had filter changes for years, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full clean deals with all of it. If you’re dealing with plant that needs cleaning after a refit and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, we can put it right, from internal panels, drain trays and filter sections onwards.
Somewhere as small as Hinxton, ducted ventilation is usually 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.
We are 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, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What the work involves, part by part
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. We photograph them for the report.
Heating and cooling coils
Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. They’re cleaned using methods that won’t bend or flatten the fins.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Hinxton knowing what to expect.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Hinxton questions
Do you cover Hinxton for AHU cleaning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hinxton is part of that. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with a few pictures of the system.
Can you get to a site in Hinxton?
Yes. Hinxton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
How we price AHU cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Why deal with it now?
If people in a building in Hinxton complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Hinxton rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Don’t let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
