How the visit works
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. All told, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Three things shape a visit in Yateley: when you are closed, where we can park and how we get to the system.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area

About our AHU cleaning in Yateley
Where a building in Yateley has had little more than filter changes, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full clean deals with all of it. If you have filters that are clogged or overdue and coils clogged with dust and debris, we can put it right, from heating and cooling coils, drain trays and internal panels onwards.
In a town like Yateley, ventilation cleaning usually means offices, schools, surgeries, care homes and leisure buildings. Each has supply and extract ductwork that collects dust and debris, and TR19® Air sets out how to inspect and clean them.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What affects the quote in Yateley
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Common problems we fix in Yateley
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For the people using the building every day, that is the air they breathe for hours on end.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
Pinewood Hospital, about 3.6 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Yateley, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What the work involves, part by part
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. Their condition goes into the report with photos so you can decide on any repairs.
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. We note any we find in the report.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Report water on the plant room floor
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can quote for both.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
