AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Kirtlington
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. We’re often asked to deal with dirty fans and fan housings and dirty coils holding back the airflow, on dampers and louvres, filter sections and drain trays.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- A system that is undersized for the building
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Kirtlington
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray doesn’t fall properly, water stands in it, and that’s where slime and odours start.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
Wherever a school like Kirtlington Church of England Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
How we price AHU cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Common questions in Kirtlington
Can you come to Kirtlington after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you do AHU cleaning in Kirtlington?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Kirtlington is part of that. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and let us know what needs doing.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
As a guide, it takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. The shutdown is planned to fit, out of hours if needed.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Normally, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
How the job changes from site to site
Internal casing and panels
We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we are done, and check every one is shut.
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
Why act early in Kirtlington
If people in a building in Kirtlington complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. Somewhere as small as Kirtlington, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Kirtlington before we set off.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
