The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Newnham Murren knowing what to expect.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
About our AHU cleaning in Newnham Murren
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. We’re often asked to deal with rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, across drain trays, internal panels and supply and extract fans.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When to call us in Newnham Murren
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids, so they’re easy to forget about. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
If you manage a school such as Crowmarsh Gifford Church of England School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a survey comes first
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What records you will receive afterwards

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Newnham Murren
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey

The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

Common questions in Newnham Murren
Can you come to Newnham Murren after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Newnham Murren keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Is Newnham Murren within the area you cover?
Yes. Newnham Murren is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What do you clean inside the unit?
All the internal parts the air touches, from intake to discharge, including coils, fan and drain trays. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you repair air handling units?
The clean includes noting faults, but repairs sit with your maintenance contractor, with photos where it helps.
What happens if it’s left?
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt does not stay put. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. Somewhere as small as Newnham Murren, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
