Common questions in Abshot
Can you work in Abshot outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Abshot keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Abshot?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Abshot included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Regular inspection shows when it’s due, and the report recommends a next date.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, with new panels fitted where needed.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We clean the unit and report anything we see that needs attention.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, including anything we think needs attention.
AHU cleaning in Abshot
No two plant rooms are the same, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. Every job starts with a survey, from photos or on site, followed by a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. The work covers internal panels, heating and cooling coils and drain trays, and people most often call us about air handling units with blocked filters and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays.
For a building in or near Abshot, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Abshot
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Abshot, that is air they breathe for hours at a time.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Drain trays holding standing water
For schools like Locks Heath Infant School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
What to look for in a quote
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the price is fixed
- What paperwork you get at the end
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones, and we clear up before we go. The timing of a visit to Abshot is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Why it’s worth doing now in Abshot
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. A fault that closes a site in a village like Abshot affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Different parts, different methods
Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. Access is planned during the survey, before we quote.
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that will not bend or flatten the fins.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
