About our AHU cleaning in New Town
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. The work covers dampers and louvres, filter sections and internal panels, and the jobs we see most are air handling units due a clean after building work and dirty coils holding back the airflow.
In a village or hamlet like New Town, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in New Town
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Why it’s worth doing now in New Town
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can survey both.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, and that is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

Common questions in New Town
Is New Town within the area you cover?
Yes, New Town is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to New Town after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in New Town needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in New Town and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in New Town
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
Battle Hospital, about 5.7 miles east, is the nearest hospital to New Town, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased, and we clear up before we go. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near New Town, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
Getting ready for the visit
