How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. The timing of a visit to Upton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Upton
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. If you have debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and dust-coated heating and cooling coils, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Upton, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Upton
Is Upton within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Upton included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work at weekends in Upton?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. We cannot clean a running unit, so it’s switched off and made safe first. We agree the timing with your site team.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.

What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, particularly where damp has made it stick. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Upton rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

What we are called out for in Upton
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and slime and smells soon follow.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Odours coming through the supply air
School buildings such as Blewbury Endowed Church of England Primary School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether they recommend a next date
What the work involves, part by part
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.
Rooftop and plant room units
Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
