- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.

How we price AHU cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 pictures, so records stay tidy.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End questions
Do you clean school ventilation in Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you get to a site in Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, with any faults we noticed.
What does TR19 mean?
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 it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Part by part
Drain trays
A tray that does not drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
Leave it or put it right?
Dirt left in an air handling unit doesn’t stay in the unit. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. A fault that closes a site in a village like Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End affects everyone who depends on it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
