What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
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 you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Woosehill
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, in the airstream that feeds the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. The work covers filter sections, dampers and louvres and drain trays, and common reasons people get in touch are odours coming through the supply air and condensate trays that won’t empty.
In a smaller place like Woosehill, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
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.

Food Standards Agency data includes about 15 schools, colleges and universities and about 23 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Woosehill. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Woosehill’s nearest hospital, Wokingham Hospital, is about 0.6 miles east. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.

For schools like Windmill Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. If you manage shops or offices close to Wokingham station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Woosehill, so let us know how to reach it.
- 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.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
Rooftop and plant room units
Many AHUs sit on roofs or in plant rooms with limited access. We plan safe access as part of the survey so the quote reflects it.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Woosehill
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
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, alongside our reports.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Don’t let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
Woosehill: your questions answered
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Woosehill in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 15 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Woosehill. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Is Woosehill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
How long will the unit be out of action?
Expect it to take a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Size, layout and how dirty it is decide the rest, and the quote will give you a clear idea.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
When to call us in Woosehill
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Dirty fans and fan housings
Hospitals such as Wokingham Hospital (about 0.6 miles east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Woosehill are no different.
