How we price AHU cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
If you need AHU cleaning in Yorkletts, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Yorkletts
No two plant rooms are the same, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and give you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. The work covers supply and extract fans, heating and cooling coils and drain trays, and common reasons people get in touch are dust built up on fan impellers and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Report water on the plant room floor
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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. That is our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Yorkletts
Do you work in villages like Yorkletts?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Yorkletts is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is AHU cleaning available in Yorkletts?
Yes, Yorkletts is covered. Get in touch with the details and we’ll arrange a survey.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
Typically the clean takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. We plan the shutdown around that, out of hours if needed.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Every section that collects dirt: filters, coils, tray, fan and panels. We confirm the scope after looking at the unit.
Do you repair air handling units?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report for your maintenance team to follow up.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Common problems we fix in Yorkletts
No filter stops everything. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, building up layer by layer.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
Wherever a school like The Whitstable School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
Filters
Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and the housing around them is cleaned too.
