About our AHU cleaning in Sacombe
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. Common call-outs are for units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and dust-coated heating and cooling coils, on internal panels, drain trays and filter sections.
Work in a small place like Sacombe 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 are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Questions from Sacombe
Will you come out to Sacombe?
Yes, Sacombe is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Sacombe after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
We clean the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and internal casing. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Sacombe?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Sacombe can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. In a small place like Sacombe, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
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 will talk you through it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Common problems we fix in Sacombe
Whatever surrounds a building in Sacombe, 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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
In Sacombe, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they recommend a next date
How the job changes from site to site
Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. We plan safe access as part of the survey so the quote reflects it.
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.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
