About our AHU cleaning in Shutford
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. The work covers drain trays, heating and cooling coils and internal panels, and common reasons people get in touch are condensate trays that won’t empty and filters that are clogged or overdue.
In a village or hamlet like Shutford, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the job changes from site to site
Drain trays
The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. We clear standing water, clean out slime and check the outlet is draining.
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe in agreement with the site.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Shutford before we set off.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt does not stay put. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. A fault that closes a site in a village like Shutford affects everyone who depends on it.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.

Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Shutford included. Get in touch with the details and we’ll arrange a survey.
How far ahead should we book?
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 if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, with new panels fitted where necessary.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.

It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Shutford and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

What else we do in Shutford
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Stick to the filter change plan
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, based on what we found. 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. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
