Your questions about AHU cleaning in Plastow Green
Can you work in Plastow Green outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is Plastow Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Plastow Green is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Plastow Green
No two plant rooms are the same, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. Every job starts with a survey, from photos or on site, followed by a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. The work covers internal panels, filter sections and drain trays, and the jobs we see most are drain trays holding standing water and air handling units with blocked filters.
Work in a small place like Plastow Green starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Plastow Green?
Whatever surrounds a building in Plastow Green, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and some travels further into the unit.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Condensate trays that will not empty
West Berkshire Community Hospital, about 4.4 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Plastow Green, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- A system that is undersized for the building
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
- Drain trays
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 can diagnose it and quote.
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. Leave those to us.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.

What affects the quote in Plastow Green
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
If you need AHU cleaning in Plastow Green, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
What happens if it’s left?
If people in a building in Plastow Green complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. Planning a trip to Plastow Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
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 play a part.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Plastow Green before we set off.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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.
