AHU cleaning in Puttenham: local notes
About 32 miles out from central London, Puttenham is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. About 3.1 miles north-east of Puttenham is Guildford Hospital, the nearest hospital. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.
Hospitals such as Guildford Hospital (about 3.1 miles north-east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Puttenham are no different. If you manage a school such as Puttenham CofE Infant School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

About our AHU cleaning in Puttenham
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with photos, so the report shows exactly what was done. Typical jobs include dust-coated heating and cooling coils and odours coming through the supply air, across drain trays, internal panels and filter sections.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, taking into account how dirty it was. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
FAQs for Puttenham
Can you work in Puttenham outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Puttenham does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you offer AHU cleaning in Puttenham?
Yes, Puttenham is covered. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few photos of the system.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you repair air handling units?
Mechanical repairs to the unit are for your HVAC maintenance contractor. We clean the unit and report anything we see that needs attention.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. We will tell you after the survey whether the ducts need it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. 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. On site, it takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Puttenham.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Puttenham
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Why deal with it now?
Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. Our certificate and photo report give you clear evidence, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. Somewhere as small as Puttenham, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Full insurance on every job
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- One number for every site across the South East and London

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.
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that will not bend or flatten the fins.
What affects the quote in Puttenham
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
