AHU cleaning in Alresford, done properly
We clean air handling units for buildings in Alresford and across Essex, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. Common call-outs are for dirty filters cutting the airflow and condensate trays that won’t empty, across supply and extract fans, internal panels and drain trays.
In a place like Alresford, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, out of sight and easy to overlook. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
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, and we have been trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Alresford

We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
How we price AHU cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Why it’s worth doing now in Alresford
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Alresford can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

AHU cleaning in Alresford: local notes
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 3 care, childcare and hospital premises serving food within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Alresford. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. Alresford’s nearest hospital, Essex County Hospital, is about 5.2 miles north-west. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. Alresford is about 53 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Wherever a school like Alresford Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Alresford, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Essex County Hospital (about 5.2 miles north-west). Workplaces around Alresford station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.
Alresford is about 5 miles south-east of Colchester, in Essex.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Alresford
Do you offer AHU cleaning in Alresford?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Alresford is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we will arrange a survey.
Do you work in villages like Alresford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Alresford?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can quote for both.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: 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 a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a place like Alresford are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
