AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Sparsholt
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. If you have units that have only ever had filter changes and coils clogged with dust and debris, we can put it right, from supply and extract fans, filter sections and internal panels onwards.
For a building in or near Sparsholt, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What AHU cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Somewhere like Sparsholt, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Questions from Sparsholt
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Sparsholt in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Sparsholt, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in Sparsholt?
Yes. Sparsholt is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. We agree the timing with your site team.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
How the job changes from site to site
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that won’t bend or flatten the fins.
Fans and fan sections
The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated with your site team.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
When we’ve closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to make sure it stays clear.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
What happens if it’s left?
If people in a building in Sparsholt complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. With notice, the visit to Sparsholt can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

How we price AHU cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
