About our AHU cleaning in Padbury
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, right in the path of the air going into the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. Common call-outs are for dirty fans and fan housings and coils clogged with dust and debris, on drain trays, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
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.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
AHU cleaning in Padbury: local notes

Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. Buckingham Community Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 2.7 miles north-west of Padbury. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital. We cover Padbury, about 49 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Padbury, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Buckingham Community Hospital (about 2.7 miles north-west). Wherever a school like Padbury Church of England School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Somewhere as small as Padbury, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.

Questions from Padbury
Can the work in Padbury be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Padbury does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Padbury within the area you cover?
Yes, Padbury is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How long will the unit be out of action?
The work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Large plant can be split over several shifts, and you can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us to plan it.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can survey both on the same visit.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Mechanical repairs to the unit are for your HVAC maintenance contractor. We will flag anything we notice during the clean.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What the work involves, part by part
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. We photograph them for the report.
Internal casing and panels
Access doors and panels are opened in turn and closed properly afterwards, and check every one is shut.
