AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ampfield
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. If you have stale or musty smells from the ventilation and dirty fans and fan housings, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Ampfield, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How we price AHU cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe with your site team.
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. We photograph them for the report.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. 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 Ampfield.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- 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.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
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 work begins.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we have finished. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to confirm water is draining away.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
Why deal with it now?
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. Somewhere as small as Ampfield, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
