Air handling unit cleaning in Wick Hill, Bracknell Forest
Need AHU cleaning in Wick Hill? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and pictures.
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what AHU cleaning won’t do:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Supply and extract fans
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
AHU cleaning in Wick Hill, done properly
Where a building in Wick Hill has had little more than filter changes, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. If you are dealing with odours coming through the supply air and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, we can help.
In a smaller place like Wick Hill, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, taking into account how dirty it was. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.
Ventilation in Wick Hill buildings
Food Standards Agency data includes about 9 schools, colleges and universities, about 12 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 3 hotels and guest houses in and around Wick Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. Wick Hill, about 28 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Heatherwood Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 2.4 miles east of Wick Hill. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Warfield Church of England Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away. If you run an office near Bracknell station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside. Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Heatherwood Hospital (about 2.4 miles east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Wick Hill can normally be finished without a second trip.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Why deal with it now?
If people in a building in Wick Hill complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Wick Hill than wait for a failure.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Why book with us
- A written report with pictures after each visit
