How we handle AHU cleaning in Wokingham
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. If you have dirty filters cutting the airflow and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, we can help, from heating and cooling coils, dampers and louvres and drain trays onwards.
A place as big as Wokingham has offices, schools and hotels, many with ducted supply and extract ventilation. Dust in a supply duct ends up in the air people breathe, so cleaning is based on what an inspection finds.
A written report with pictures 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.
Wokingham questions
Can the work in Wokingham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Wokingham can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you offer AHU cleaning in Wokingham?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Wokingham included. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details of the site.
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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. The photo report shows each section before and after.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
What affects the quote in Wokingham
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
AHU cleaning in Wokingham: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 17 schools, colleges and universities and about 21 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) with registered kitchens or food service across Wokingham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. About less than half a mile east of Wokingham is Wokingham Hospital, the nearest hospital. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. About 33 miles out from central London, Wokingham is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If you run an office near Wokingham station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside. Classrooms and halls at schools such as Walter Infant School are easiest to work in when pupils are away. Wokingham Hospital, about within half a mile east, is the nearest hospital to Wokingham, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

What a clean will not put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Phased working suits larger sites in a place the size of Wokingham, with each part handed back before the next starts.
- 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.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area

Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. Access is planned during the survey so the quote reflects it.
Drain trays
The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.
