Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, particularly where damp has made it stick. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Launton rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

AHU cleaning in Launton, done properly
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. If you have filters that are clogged or overdue and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Launton, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Launton
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. We note any we find in the report.
Heating and cooling coils
Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. We clean them with care so the fins are not damaged.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
When we’ve closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to confirm water is draining away.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. 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 anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Somewhere like Launton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
What staff can safely do
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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
AHU cleaning around Launton
There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities and about 4 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Launton. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. We cover Launton, about 52 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. About 1.7 miles west of Launton is Bicester Community Hospital, the nearest hospital. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.

The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
