AHU cleaning in Hungerford
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. The work covers filter sections, drain trays and dampers and louvres, and people most often call us about units that have only ever had filter changes and plant that needs cleaning after a refit.
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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
Ventilation in Hungerford buildings
Food Standards Agency data includes about 3 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) across Hungerford 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.
Wherever a school like Hyde Church of England Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. In Hungerford, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hungerford
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Leave it or put it right?
A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. It also means the next inspection has less to find. With notice, the visit to Hungerford can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Why book with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
Hungerford: your questions answered
Is Hungerford in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes, Hungerford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work overnight in Hungerford?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Hungerford keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. For a village or hamlet like Hungerford, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- A system that’s undersized for the building
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Filter sections
- Dampers and louvres
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
What affects the quote in Hungerford
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
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’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
There’s no standard 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 start, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What else we do in Hungerford
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
