What to think about in the Lothians
Downtime
Each unit is out of action for about an hour while it is cleaned.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in the Lothians often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Frequency
Most units need a deep clean every one to two years; kitchens and salons more often.
Working hours
Most the Lothians businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.

Do you also cover Edinburgh, Fife and Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire?
Yes. Alongside the Lothians, we also cover Edinburgh, Fife and Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Why does my air conditioning smell?
A musty smell usually comes from mould or bacteria in the coil, tray or drain. A deep clean and drain treatment normally removes it.
Will cleaning reduce running costs?
Clean coils and filters let the unit move air and exchange heat properly, which reduces the energy it needs to reach temperature.
