AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Old Wolverton
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 pictures or on site, followed by a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. The work covers heating and cooling coils, drain trays and supply and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are condensate trays that won’t empty and dirty coils holding back the airflow.
For a building near Old Wolverton, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
Stick to the filter change schedule, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
Questions from Old Wolverton
Do you work overnight in Old Wolverton?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can ventilation in schools around Old Wolverton be cleaned out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Old Wolverton, the Food Standards Agency lists about 14 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How long will the unit be out of action?
Typically the clean takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. We plan the shutdown around that, including evenings or weekends.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and we will suggest an interval after the first clean.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Visits to a place like Old Wolverton are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- 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.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Building management system faults
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Heating and cooling coils
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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 is where we come in.
Why deal with it now?
If people in a building in Old Wolverton complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. Light use slows the build-up but doesn’t stop it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Old Wolverton
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
