AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lower Basildon
Where a building in Lower Basildon has had little more than filter changes, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. The work covers supply and extract fans, heating and cooling coils and dampers and louvres, and people most often call us about drain trays holding standing water and filters that are clogged or overdue.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Can you fix a faulty AHU?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We will flag anything we notice during the clean.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, including anything we think needs attention.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Different parts, different methods
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. Their condition goes into the report with photos so you can decide on any repairs.
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
