About our AHU cleaning in Park Town
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, 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 filter sections, dampers and louvres and internal panels, and the jobs we see most are filters that are clogged or overdue and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays.
Visits to a place like Park Town are fitted around opening hours. The method doesn’t change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Park Town buildings and their air
Food Standards Agency records list about 88 schools, colleges and universities, about 22 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 18 hotels and guest houses registered as food businesses in and around Park Town, up to about a mile and a half out. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. Acland Hospital is the nearest hospital, about within half a mile south of Park Town. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too. Park Town, about 53 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you run an office near Oxford station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside. If you manage a school such as Wychwood School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays. Acland Hospital, about within half a mile south, is the nearest hospital to Park Town, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

Why deal with it now?
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. Even a site near Park Town that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Common questions in Park Town
Can a school’s ventilation in Park Town be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Park Town, the Food Standards Agency lists about 88 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you come to Park Town after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Park Town needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
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.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one, and we clear up before we go. A site near Park Town usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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.
What the work involves, part by part
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and clean the filter housing.
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
What affects the quote in Park Town
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
