Milcombe questions
Do you work overnight in Milcombe?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Milcombe keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Milcombe?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
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.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. We’ll tell you after the survey whether the ducts need it.
About our AHU cleaning in Milcombe
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. We are often asked to deal with dust built up on fan impellers and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, on supply and extract fans, heating and cooling coils and filter sections.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

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. In a small place like Milcombe, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What a clean won’t put right
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. The timing of a visit to Milcombe is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we’ve finished. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to confirm water is draining away.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
What the work involves, part by part
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Milcombe?
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays holding standing water
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Milcombe, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Horton General Hospital (about 4.2 miles north-east).
