AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Speenhamland

We clean air handling units for buildings in Speenhamland and across West Berkshire, working to TR19® Air, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. If you are dealing with air handling units due a clean after building work and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, we can help, from internal panels, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans onwards.

Around a place like Speenhamland, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.

Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Speenhamland

Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids, so they’re easy to forget about. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.

Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
  • Air handling units due a clean after building work
  • Dirty fans and fan housings
  • Air handling units with blocked filters

Workplaces around Newbury station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.

Aftercare tips

No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:

  • Change filters on schedule and log each change
  • Report water on the plant room floor
  • Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
  • Do not store bins or materials near the intake

The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can survey both.

Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.

Why act early in Speenhamland

Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, particularly where damp has made it stick. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.

You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.

FAQs for Speenhamland

Will you come out to Speenhamland?

Yes. Speenhamland 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.

Do you clean school ventilation in Speenhamland in the holidays?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 9 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Speenhamland. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?

Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, and any sections we cannot reach are noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted.

Do you need to switch the unit off?

Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.

Do you work evenings or weekends?

Yes, wherever it helps the building. We plan the shutdown window with you.

What’s 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 expects a risk-based approach.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

What your team can do, and what needs us

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.

The process

A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the AHU cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. For a site near Speenhamland, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.

  1. We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
  2. The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
  3. We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
  4. Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
  5. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
