AHU cleaning in Aaron's Hill, done properly
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins aren’t flattened. If you’re dealing with units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and dirty filters cutting the airflow, we can help, from dampers and louvres, drain trays and heating and cooling coils onwards.
For a building near Aaron's Hill, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What AHU cleaning looks like in Aaron's Hill
There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities and about 14 care, childcare and hospital premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Aaron's Hill. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Aaron's Hill, about 32 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. For Aaron's Hill, the closest hospital is Milford Hospital, roughly 1.1 miles south. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.
School buildings such as St Mark and All Saints Church of England Primary are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Aaron's Hill, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Milford Hospital (about 1.1 miles south).

Leave it or put it right?

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Aaron's Hill when you book.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.

- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Getting ready for the visit

What the work involves, part by part
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and the housing around them is cleaned too.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.

Common problems we fix in Aaron's Hill
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
If you manage shops or offices close to Godalming station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
