AHU cleaning in Stone Copse
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. If you have blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and dust-coated heating and cooling coils, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Stone Copse, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Stick to the filter change plan
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
Stone Copse questions
Can ventilation in schools around Stone Copse be cleaned out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Stone Copse, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Will you come out to Stone Copse?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stone Copse included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
The clean includes noting faults, but repairs sit with your maintenance contractor, with the details in the report.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. We can’t clean a running unit, so it’s switched off and made safe first. The shutdown is planned with whoever runs the building.
Leave it or put it right?
Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. Our certificate and photo report give you clear evidence, ready to show anyone who asks. It’s simpler to plan the work at Stone Copse now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
Drain trays
Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Berkshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
