How we handle AHU cleaning in Yarnton
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. If you are dealing with plant that needs cleaning after a refit and condensate trays that won’t empty, we can put it right.
For a building in or near Yarnton, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Yarnton
No filter stops everything. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Odours coming through the supply air
For schools like William Fletcher Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. At about 56 miles from central London, Yarnton sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Acland Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 3.8 miles south-east of Yarnton.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Yarnton
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. In a small place like Yarnton, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
