- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
Part by part
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
Heating and cooling coils
Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. We clean them with care so the fins are not damaged.
AHU cleaning in Uffington, done properly
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. If you have intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and filters that are clogged or overdue, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Uffington, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.

Why act early in Uffington
Standing water in a drain tray doesn’t clear itself. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. A planned visit to Uffington is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Uffington: your questions answered
Can you come to Uffington after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you do AHU cleaning in Uffington?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Uffington is part of that. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
All the internal parts the air touches, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Cleaning takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Large plant can be split over several shifts, so give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form to talk it through.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Building management system faults
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
AHU cleaning in Uffington: local notes
For Uffington, the closest hospital is Faringdon Day Hospital, roughly 4 miles north. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Uffington, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Faringdon Day Hospital (about 4 miles north). School buildings such as Uffington Church of England Primary School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
How we price AHU cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
If you need AHU cleaning in Uffington, call 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Uffington can be planned properly.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
