About our AHU cleaning in Pinkneys Green
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. If you have air handling units due a clean after building work and filters that are clogged or overdue, we can put it right.
For a building near Pinkneys Green, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Everything the job in Pinkneys Green needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area

FAQs for Pinkneys Green
Do you work in villages like Pinkneys Green?
Yes, Pinkneys Green is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can the work in Pinkneys Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Pinkneys Green keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We’ll flag anything we notice during the clean.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. The shutdown is planned with whoever runs the building.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
Stick to the filter change schedule, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.
Why it’s worth doing now in Pinkneys Green
When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. It also means the next inspection has less to find. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
We do not 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 email photos.

- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Filters that are clogged or overdue

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
