Shillingford AHU cleaning
Professional AHU cleaning in and around Shillingford, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
When to call us in Shillingford
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray does not fall properly, water stands in it, and that is where slime and odours start.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
Wherever a school like St Laurence Church of England (A) School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
How we handle AHU cleaning in Shillingford
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with pictures, so the report shows exactly what was done. If you’re dealing with filters that are clogged or overdue and dirty fans and fan housings, we can help.
For a building in or near Shillingford, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Shillingford.
- 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.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.

What affects the quote in Shillingford
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Report water on the plant room floor
Stick to the filter change schedule, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.

Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What do you clean inside the unit?
The main parts are the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and inside of the casing. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
Access doors and panels are opened in turn and closed properly afterwards, and check every one is shut.
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
