Newnham questions
Can you work in Newnham outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Newnham needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you clean school ventilation in Newnham in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Newnham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, with new panels fitted where necessary.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How long will the unit be out of action?
It takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Size, layout and how dirty it is decide the rest, and the quote will give you a clear idea.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. The photo report shows each section before and after.
AHU cleaning in Newnham, done properly
If the units serving a building in Newnham have only had filter changes for years, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full clean deals with all of it. Typical jobs include units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned, on dampers and louvres, drain trays and internal panels.
In a village or hamlet like Newnham, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Good records are part of the job. 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What affects the quote in Newnham
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form 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 we are called out for in Newnham
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Eastling Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
Before booking anyone
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Newnham.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What happens if it’s left?
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt doesn’t stay put. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. With notice, the visit to Newnham can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
