How we handle AHU cleaning in Wash Common
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. If you have coils clogged with dust and debris and air handling units with blocked filters, we can put it right.
For a building near Wash Common, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The method doesn’t change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Wash Common
No filter stops everything. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, a little more each month.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
School buildings such as Falkland Primary School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
Before you book anyone
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Building management system faults
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Part by part
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that won’t bend or flatten the fins.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Berkshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.

Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. For a place like Wash Common, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- 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.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
