What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
AHU cleaning in Woodhall Farm, done properly
Where a building in Woodhall Farm has had little more than filter changes, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full clean deals with all of it. The work covers filter sections, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils, and common reasons people get in touch are coils clogged with dust and debris and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years.
In a place like Woodhall Farm, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, where they’re easy to forget. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

What AHU cleaning cannot fix
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- A system that is undersized for the building
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Woodhall Farm
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What the work involves, part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. Cleaning keeps it running as intended.
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. In a place like Woodhall Farm, we fit the visit around your hours.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Woodhall Farm questions
Can the work in Woodhall Farm be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Woodhall Farm doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like Woodhall Farm?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
How long does an AHU clean take?
As a guide, it takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. The shutdown is planned to fit, including evenings or weekends.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
