Woodley AHU cleaning

- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
How we handle AHU cleaning in Woodley
Our AHU cleans for sites in Woodley cover the parts that collect dirt: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. If you have air handling units with blocked filters and odours coming through the supply air, we can help, from internal panels, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres onwards.
Many schools and offices in a town like Woodley have a mix of older and newer ventilation. The work starts with an inspection to decide what needs cleaning, so you are not paying for more than the system needs.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Woodley
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
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’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Woodley buildings and their air
There are about 11 schools, colleges and universities and about 27 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) on the FSA’s food hygiene register across Woodley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. Royal Berkshire Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 2.7 miles west of Woodley. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too. About 35 miles out from central London, Woodley is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Royal Berkshire Hospital (about 2.7 miles west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. If you manage a school such as Rivermead Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Dampers and louvres
Why act early in Woodley
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt does not stay put. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. The sooner the work is done, the simpler the job for a site in Woodley.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why book with us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Every job surveyed first
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Each visit written up, with photos

What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the AHU cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. In Woodley, the visit is planned around your opening hours, parking and access to the system.
- 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.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Woodley: your questions answered
Can ventilation in schools around Woodley be cleaned out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 11 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Woodley. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Can you do AHU cleaning in Woodley?
Yes, we work in Woodley and the places around it. Get in touch with the details and we’ll arrange a survey.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and we’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, and new panels can be fitted.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
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.
