AHU cleaning in Tickleback Row
We clean air handling units for buildings in Tickleback Row and across Bracknell Forest, working to TR19® Air, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. If you have filters that are clogged or overdue and air handling units never cleaned inside, we can help, from heating and cooling coils, dampers and louvres and internal panels onwards.
For a building in or near Tickleback Row, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Tickleback Row knowing what to expect.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we’ve finished. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to confirm water is draining away.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
Why act early in Tickleback Row
Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What AHU cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Building management system faults
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- A system that is undersized for the building
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Dampers and louvres
- Drain trays
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

What affects the quote in Tickleback Row
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Different parts, different methods
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and the housing around them is cleaned too.
