West Berkshire · Air handling unit cleaning
Air handling unit cleaning in Mill Green, West Berkshire
AHU cleaning for Mill Green, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
How we handle AHU cleaning in Mill Green
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. Common call-outs are for condensate trays that won’t empty and dirty coils holding back the airflow, on drain trays, internal panels and dampers and louvres.
For a building in or near Mill Green, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Mill Green
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Mill Green and across West Berkshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Mill Green run smoothly.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

When to call us in Mill Green
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Odours coming through the supply air
If you manage a school such as Cheam School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
