Your questions about AHU cleaning in Westcot
Will you come out to Westcot?
Yes, Westcot is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work at weekends in Westcot?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Westcot doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
There’s no single answer; it comes down to the building and the unit. Regular inspection shows when it’s due, and the report recommends a next date.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Westcot?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Westcot
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so the report shows exactly what was done. If you are dealing with dirty fans and fan housings and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs, we can help, from drain trays, supply and extract fans and filter sections onwards.
Work in a small place like Westcot starts with agreeing access and timings.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why act early in Westcot
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Westcot is calmer for everyone.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

How the job changes from site to site
Heating and cooling coils
Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. They’re cleaned using methods that will not bend or flatten the fins.
Drain trays
The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. We clear standing water, clean out slime and check the outlet is draining.
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Building management system faults
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
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. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Westcot
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
Healthcare buildings such as Faringdon Day Hospital, about 5.8 miles north-west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Westcot, yours matters too.

Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
