How we handle AHU cleaning in Afton Park
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, with the unit switched off and made safe first. Typical jobs include air handling units never cleaned inside and dust built up on fan impellers, on supply and extract fans, filter sections and internal panels.
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 are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
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.
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. The timing of a visit to Afton Park 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.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across the Isle of Wight. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.

What AHU cleaning cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
Common problems we fix in Afton Park
No filter stops everything. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, building up layer by layer.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
If you manage a school such as All Saints Church of England Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

Afton Park: your questions answered
Can a school’s ventilation in Afton Park be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Afton Park, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can the work in Afton Park be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Afton Park does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can quote for both.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How long will the unit be out of action?
Expect it to take half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and the quote will give you a clear idea.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
How we price AHU cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
