Shiplake: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Shiplake?
Yes, Shiplake is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can the work in Shiplake be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Shiplake keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
The clean includes noting faults, but repairs sit with your maintenance contractor, with pictures where it helps.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from intake to discharge, including coils, fan and drain trays. The photo report shows each section before and after.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shiplake
If the units serving a building in Shiplake have only had filter changes for years, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. If you have drain trays holding standing water and odours coming through the supply air, we can put it right, from internal panels, supply and extract fans and filter sections onwards.
For a building in or near Shiplake, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What affects the quote in Shiplake
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Want a quote for AHU cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. The result is extra wear and a building that does not feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. Planning a trip to Shiplake ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What we are called out for in Shiplake
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 slime and smells soon follow.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Shiplake, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Royal Berkshire Hospital (about 4.2 miles south-west).
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether VAT is included
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work 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 Shiplake.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
AHU cleaning in Shiplake: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 care, childcare and hospital premises registered as food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Shiplake. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. We cover Shiplake, about 35 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Shiplake’s nearest hospital, Royal Berkshire Hospital, is about 4.2 miles south-west. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital.
If you run an office near Wargrave station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside. If you manage a school such as Shiplake Church of England School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
