About our AHU cleaning in Woolstone
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, right in the path of the air going into the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. The work covers supply and extract fans, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils, and people most often call us about air handling units with blocked filters and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Filter sections
- Heating and cooling coils
- Dampers and louvres
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Woolstone
An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and the finer material travels on.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
Hospitals such as Faringdon Day Hospital (about 4.7 miles north) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Woolstone are no different.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Leave it or put it right?
Standing water in a drain tray does not clear itself. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. A planned visit to Woolstone is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What the work involves, part by part
Fans and fan sections
The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated with your site team.
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that won’t bend or flatten the fins.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

The visit takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Woolstone before we set off.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area

What else we do in Woolstone
Woolstone questions
Is Woolstone within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Woolstone is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Woolstone be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Woolstone does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes, for the time we are working on it. Out-of-hours work is available so the building isn’t left without ventilation when it’s busy.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
