How we handle AHU cleaning in Sibford Ferris
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so the report shows exactly what was done. Typical jobs include air handling units never cleaned inside and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, across dampers and louvres, internal panels and drain trays.
Work in a small place like Sibford Ferris 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. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How long will the unit be out of action?
Expect it to take from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and we’ll confirm the time when we quote.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Sibford Ferris and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

When to call us in Sibford Ferris
An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and some travels further into the unit.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Sibford School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Sibford Ferris
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

- Leaking heating or cooling coils
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Why it’s worth doing now in Sibford Ferris
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, especially where there’s been moisture. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
