AHU Cleaning in Adgestone
AHU cleaning in Adgestone, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and pictures. Call for a fixed quote.
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Adgestone.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

AHU cleaning in Adgestone
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. If you have stale or musty smells from the ventilation and dirty fans and fan housings, we can put it right.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. The filter section is cleaned so new or cleaned filters sit properly.
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. Cleaning keeps it running as intended.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

What else we do in Adgestone
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Adgestone?
Whatever surrounds a building in Adgestone, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and the finer material travels on.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
For schools like Brading Church of England Controlled Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
