How we handle AHU cleaning in Riseley
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. Common call-outs are for filters that are clogged or overdue and coils clogged with dust and debris, across drain trays, internal panels and supply and extract fans.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Leave it or put it right?
Dirt left in an air handling unit doesn’t stay in the unit. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we have finished. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to make sure it stays clear.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What we are called out for in Riseley
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, a little more each month.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
In Riseley, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.

Common questions in Riseley
Can you get to a site in Riseley?
Yes. Riseley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Riseley?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Riseley doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from intake to discharge, including coils, fan and drain trays. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
Mechanical repairs to the unit are for your HVAC maintenance contractor. We’ll flag anything we notice during the clean.
How long does an AHU clean take?
The work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Bigger units can be phased, so ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email to talk it through.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes, for the time we are working on it. We can work evenings, overnight or at weekends so the building isn’t left without ventilation when it’s busy.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Riseley run smoothly.
- 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.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Berkshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Riseley
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
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, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
