Air handling unit cleaning in Wootton, Oxfordshire
Professional AHU cleaning in and around Wootton, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
What the work involves, part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
AHU cleaning in Wootton
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: 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. The work covers heating and cooling coils, supply and extract fans and drain trays, and the jobs we see most are dust-coated heating and cooling coils and dust built up on fan impellers.
In a village or hamlet like Wootton, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. 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 a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Visits to a village like Wootton are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Wootton questions
Is Wootton in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes, we work in Wootton and the places around it. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Can you work in Wootton outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Wootton keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, with any faults we noticed.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. We recommend a next date in each report.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, and new panels can be fitted.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, taking into account how dirty it was. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.

What AHU cleaning cannot fix

- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself

Why it’s worth doing now in Wootton
Standing water in a drain tray does not clear itself. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. Somewhere as small as Wootton, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
