AHU cleaning in Langford, done properly
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. If you’re dealing with dust built up on fan impellers and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, we can put it right.
For a building in or near Langford, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price AHU cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. In a small place like Langford, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading

Langford: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Langford?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Langford is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Langford?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, with any faults we noticed.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from intake to discharge, including coils, fan and drain trays. The photo report shows each section before and after.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Leave it or put it right?
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. In a place like Langford, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Common problems we fix in Langford
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and slime and smells soon follow.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Dirty fans and fan housings
Wherever a school like Plume School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they recommend a next date
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
