For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Lambourn
No two plant rooms are the same, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. Every job starts with a survey, from pictures or on site, followed by a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. Typical jobs include debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and stale or musty smells from the ventilation, on drain trays, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans.
In a place like Lambourn, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, out of sight and easy to overlook. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Different parts, different methods
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that will not bend or flatten the fins.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, 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.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. For a place like Lambourn, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system

Leave it or put it right?
Dirt left in an air handling unit does not stay in the unit. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. In a smaller place like Lambourn, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Why us?
- A fixed price before any work starts
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Every job surveyed first

When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
