About our AHU cleaning in Huntercombe
Our AHU cleans for sites in Huntercombe cover the parts that collect dirt: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after photos in a report. If you’re dealing with air handling units never cleaned inside and filters that are clogged or overdue, we can help, from drain trays, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres onwards.
Around a place like Huntercombe, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, taking into account how dirty it was. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Huntercombe
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
If you need AHU cleaning in Huntercombe, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Why it’s worth doing now in Huntercombe
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. The result is extra wear and a building that does not feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Huntercombe than wait for a failure.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- In business since 2009
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. A site near Huntercombe usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Related advice
Do you need AHU cleaning in Huntercombe?
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and that is where slime and odours start.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
For schools like Cippenham Infant School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What records you will receive afterwards
