Slough · Air handling unit cleaning
Air handling unit cleaning in Myrke, Slough
AHU cleaning across Myrke and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
How we handle AHU cleaning in Myrke
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. If you are dealing with units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, we can put it right, from filter sections, dampers and louvres and drain trays onwards.
For a building in or near Myrke, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and clean the filter housing.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Common problems we fix in Myrke
It matters for two reasons: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For the people using the building every day, that is the air they breathe for hours on end.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
Workplaces around Slough station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.

How we price AHU cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Myrke.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

What a clean won’t put right
AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
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. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. About 0.5 miles north of Myrke is Upton 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. We cover Myrke, about 21 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
For schools like Long Close School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Myrke, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Upton Hospital (about 0.5 miles north).
