How we handle AHU cleaning in New Hinksey
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in New Hinksey and the rest of Oxfordshire, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. We are often asked to deal with dust built up on fan impellers and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake, on filter sections, drain trays and supply and extract fans.
In a place like New Hinksey, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, where they’re easy to forget. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Common questions in New Hinksey
Is New Hinksey within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, New Hinksey included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in New Hinksey?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in New Hinksey can fit around your hours. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.
How long does an AHU clean take?
The work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Bigger units can be phased, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us to talk it through.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. We protect the area below before opening them.
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts, and we clear up before we go. For a site near New Hinksey, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- 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.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
Dirt left in an air handling unit does not stay in the unit. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in New Hinksey
No filter stops everything. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, a little more each month.
Look out for any of the following:
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
If you manage a school such as New Hinksey Church of England Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
Comparing quotes
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.

What else we do in New Hinksey
What affects the quote in New Hinksey
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
