How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. For a place like North Hinksey, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.

AHU cleaning in North Hinksey, done properly
No two plant rooms are the same, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. Every job starts with a survey, from photos or on site, followed by a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. If you’re dealing with units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and drain trays holding standing water, we can help, from filter sections, internal panels and drain trays onwards.
Visits to a place like North Hinksey are fitted around opening hours. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we’re called out for in North Hinksey
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’s the air they breathe for hours on end.
What we are most often called out for:
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Dust built up on fan impellers
Hospitals such as Radcliffe Infirmary (about 1.5 miles north-east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near North Hinksey are no different.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What insurance they carry
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans

Different parts, different methods
Drain trays
A tray that does not drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. Access is planned during the survey, before we quote.
