AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Upper Eddington
Where a building in Upper Eddington has had little more than filter changes, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. We’re often asked to deal with intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs, across dampers and louvres, supply and extract fans and heating and cooling coils.
Work in a small place like Upper Eddington starts with agreeing access and timings.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Why it’s worth doing now in Upper Eddington

Common problems we fix in Upper Eddington
Whatever surrounds a building in Upper Eddington, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and some travels further into the unit.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
If you manage a school such as Hungerford Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Upper Eddington and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Upper Eddington and across West Berkshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Part by part
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. Anything like that is recorded with pictures.
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
