AHU cleaning in Shenington, done properly
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, in the airstream that feeds the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. The work covers heating and cooling coils, supply and extract fans and drain trays, and the jobs we see most are intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and air handling units with blocked filters.
Somewhere as small as Shenington, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
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. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shenington
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Shenington can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. Somewhere as small as Shenington, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

Shenington: your questions answered
Do you offer AHU cleaning in Shenington?
Yes, Shenington is covered. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can the work in Shenington be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can survey both on the same visit.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What the work involves, part by part
Drain trays
A tray that doesn’t drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Condensate trays that won’t empty

- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Proof of insurance
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Shenington.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- 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
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
