How we handle AHU cleaning in Widley
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. The work covers filter sections, internal panels and heating and cooling coils, and the jobs we see most are coils clogged with dust and debris and air handling units with blocked filters.
For a building in or near Widley, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Somewhere as small as Widley, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What happens if it’s left?
Dirt left in an air handling unit doesn’t stay in the unit. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. It’s simpler to plan the work at Widley now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will explain what it covers.
What you get with us

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Widley
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.
Common questions in Widley
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Widley in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 15 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Widley, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Do you cover smaller places like Widley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Widley included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Common problems we fix in Widley
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
For schools like Purbrook Park School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
