Cleanroom specialist Total Clean Air (TCA) has launched Rent a Cleanroom after achieving approximately 30% year-on-year growth and expanding its team to 26 employees.
Strong early demand for the new rental proposition is supporting further recruitment and investment plans throughout 2026.
Founded in 2018, Total Clean Air serves customers across the UK and internationally and continues to invest in people, products and facilities from its headquarters in Street, Somerset.
The business currently employs 26 people across sales, engineering, manufacturing, validation, project delivery and support functions and has recently strengthened its sales team as demand continues to grow.
Developed to support businesses that need speed, flexibility and affordability, Rent a Cleanroom provides access to validated cleanroom facilities without the significant upfront investment and lengthy implementation timescales traditionally associated with cleanroom projects.
The proposition has been created to help start-ups, innovators, growing manufacturers and project teams access compliant cleanroom capacity quickly and cost-effectively.
Every rental is backed by Total Clean Air’s accredited engineering and validation expertise and includes delivery, installation, commissioning, ISO 14644 validation, ongoing servicing and maintenance, providing customers with a fully supported solution from day one.
Phillip Godden, CEO of Total Clean Air, said: “Rent a Cleanroom has been developed to make compliant cleanroom facilities more accessible. By combining flexibility, speed and affordability with the expertise of Total Clean Air, we’re helping organisations access the environments they need without the significant upfront investment traditionally associated with cleanroom projects.
“It’s a practical solution for businesses looking to innovate, grow or respond quickly to changing operational requirements without compromising compliance or quality.”
Godden added: “The response to Rent a Cleanroom has been extremely encouraging. We’ve already secured and delivered rental orders, generated strong levels of enquiry and are now building our first Series 2 rental system to meet customer demand.
“Our ambition is to establish Rent a Cleanroom as the UK’s leading cleanroom rental provider while continuing to create opportunities for growth and investment from our Somerset base.”
Available options include inflatable cleanrooms, modular cleanroom systems and larger portable controlled environments, allowing organisations to select a solution that matches their operational requirements, project timescales and budget.
Unlike traditional cleanroom projects, which can involve significant capital expenditure and complex procurement processes, Rent a Cleanroom enables organisations to access compliant, controlled environments quickly and convert infrastructure investment into a predictable operational cost.
Depending on the system selected, rental cleanrooms can be operational within days or weeks. For organisations facing tight project deadlines, rental cleanrooms can provide a significantly faster route to compliance than traditional procurement and construction programmes.
Airelab inflatable cleanrooms can typically be deployed within days of agreement, while larger modular solutions can be delivered, commissioned and validated within two to four weeks.
The launch comes as organisations across life sciences, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, advanced manufacturing, research and technology sectors are seeking greater flexibility in accessing specialist environments while maintaining compliance and operational performance.
Early demand has already resulted in rental orders being secured and delivered, including a recent project for an advanced manufacturing customer that required temporary cleanroom capacity during planned maintenance works.
Commenting on the experience, the customer said: “We needed a temporary cleanroom whilst maintenance work was being carried out in our factory, and Total Clean Air’s Rent a Cleanroom service was exactly what we needed.
The unit was delivered and installed quickly, allowing us to keep production running with minimal disruption. The flexibility of the rental solution and the support from the TCA team throughout the project were excellent. A great service from start to finish – professional, responsive and easy to work with. We’d happily recommend Total Clean Air to others looking for a temporary cleanroom solution. ”
The rental model also offers customers flexibility throughout the rental period, enabling the cleanroom options to be upgraded, expanded or adapted as operational requirements evolve.
Customers can choose to extend their rental agreement, upgrade to a different cleanroom system, return the unit at the end of the term, or purchase the unit outright through a hire purchase arrangement.
Flexible rental agreements are available from as little as three months, enabling organisations to access compliant cleanroom facilities without significant upfront capital investment or long-term infrastructure commitments.
The launch forms part of Total Clean Air’s wider growth strategy as the company continues to invest in its Somerset operations and expand its presence across the UK cleanroom market.
