Filters
Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and clean the filter housing.
Rooftop and plant room units
Many AHUs sit on roofs or in plant rooms with limited access. Access is planned during the survey so the quote reflects it.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Tilehurst Within
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. If you are dealing with air handling units never cleaned inside and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, we can help.
Around a place like Tilehurst Within, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Questions from Tilehurst Within
Do you work in villages like Tilehurst Within?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Tilehurst Within included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you clean school ventilation in Tilehurst Within in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 13 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Tilehurst Within. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, and new panels can be fitted.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Report water on the plant room floor
Stick to the filter change schedule, because good filters protect everything downstream. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Building management system faults
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

When to call us in Tilehurst Within
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray doesn’t fall properly, water stands in it, and that’s where slime and odours start.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
Hospitals such as Battle Hospital (about 1.5 miles east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Tilehurst Within are no different.
