If you’re dealing with plant that has been serviced but not cleaned and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, we can help.

What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. We note any we find in the report.
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.
What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Witherenden Hill.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Witherenden Hill questions
Will you come out to Witherenden Hill?
Yes, Witherenden Hill is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you work in Witherenden Hill outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Witherenden Hill can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. Any faults we notice are recorded so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Common problems we fix in Witherenden Hill
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and that is where slime and odours start.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
If you manage offices or shops near Stonegate station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours.
