What Total Clean Air does

Total Clean Air (TCA) is a UK-based cleanroom specialist that designs, builds, validates, and maintains controlled environments for regulated industries. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Somerset, the company is one of only two UKAS 17025-accredited cleanroom contractors in the UK, with a leadership team that includes a Technical Director sitting on the British Standards Committee for ISO 14644. TCA has delivered 200+ cleanrooms across the UK and internationally to customers including Rolls-Royce, Lonza, NHS, Estée Lauder, Cisco, PepsiCo, Bupa, and Imperial College London.

The company's offering spans a proprietary product portfolio and end-to-end services. The Pro Series comprises Series 1 (portable/relocatable, ISO 7/8), Series 2 (mobile SIP-panel modular, GMP/GLP/ISO), and Series 3 (large-scale multi-module, GMP-compliant, ISO 5–8, 60+ year lifespan). The Core Series includes Airelab (inflatable, deployable in 3 minutes), Flexilab and Modulab (aluminium modular with 74% greater structural strength than conventional units), and GMPlab (EU GMP-aligned modular laboratory). Bespoke cleanrooms are engineered to client specification. Underlying technology combines HEPA/ULPA filtration, Pulse 1000 fan filter units, integrated HVAC, and partners' technologies including TOMI SteraMist ionised hydrogen peroxide (iHP) decontamination and Erlab fume filtration (UK distribution rights). Services include UKAS-accredited testing and validation, IQ/OQ/PQ commissioning, ongoing maintenance with 24/7 support, and Safyr-based real-time environmental monitoring.

TCA generates revenue through bespoke project contracts, modular product sales, a recurring maintenance and re-certification subscription stream, rental income via the RentaCleanroom brand, and decontamination/validation professional services. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting pharmaceutical, biotech, aerospace, defence, healthcare, and manufacturing buyers. In 2025, the company consolidated its Modular Clean Air (MCA) joint venture as a wholly owned subsidiary, bringing modular construction in-house and launching productised cleanroom offerings that contributed £500k in launch-year revenue.
