Why act early in North Newington
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. The result is extra wear and a building that does not feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to North Newington is calmer for everyone.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in North Newington
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, right in the path of the air going into the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. Typical jobs include coils clogged with dust and debris and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays, across dampers and louvres, filter sections and drain trays.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.

Different parts, different methods
Fans and fan sections
The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated with your site team.
Drain trays
The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. We clear standing water, clean out slime and check the outlet is draining.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Somewhere like North Newington, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

How we price AHU cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
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. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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. That is our job.

North Newington questions
Do you work in villages like North Newington?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and North Newington is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can ventilation in schools around North Newington be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 5 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of North Newington. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. We agree the timing with your site team.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, and new panels can be fitted.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you work evenings or weekends?
Yes, if daytime working is not practical. We plan the shutdown window with you.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
