What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
AHU cleaning in Yattendon
We clean air handling units for buildings in Yattendon and across West Berkshire, working to TR19® Air, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. We’re often asked to deal with rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and leaves and litter drawn into the unit, on internal panels, supply and extract fans and drain trays.
Somewhere as small as Yattendon, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

AHU cleaning around Yattendon
We cover Yattendon, about 48 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. For Yattendon, the closest hospital is West Berkshire Community Hospital, roughly 5.7 miles south-west. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Yattendon C.E. Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away. Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like West Berkshire Community Hospital (about 5.7 miles south-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A system that’s undersized for the building
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Building management system faults
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
What the work involves, part by part
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.
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. Anything like that is recorded with photos.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, 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, alongside our reports.
Leave it or put it right?
Tenants, auditors and owners may want proof that the air handling plant is kept clean. Our certificate and photo report give you clear evidence, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. Somewhere as small as Yattendon, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Yattendon, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
