AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Kingsclere
Our AHU cleans for sites in Kingsclere cover the parts that collect dirt: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. The work covers supply and extract fans, heating and cooling coils and internal panels, and people most often call us about air handling units due a clean after building work and dust built up on fan impellers.
In a smaller place like Kingsclere, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. For a place like Kingsclere, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Stick to the filter change plan
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.

Do you cover smaller places like Kingsclere?
Yes, Kingsclere is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is Kingsclere in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Kingsclere is part of that. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few photos of the system.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Typically the clean takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. The shutdown is planned to fit, including evenings or weekends.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after pictures. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Building management system faults
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.

When to call us in Kingsclere
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
School buildings such as Kingsclere Church of England Primary School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Kingsclere
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Berkshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Leave it or put it right?
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Why book with us
- Photo reports with every job
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Full insurance on every job
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
