About AHU cleaning in Southampton

We clean air handling units for buildings across Southampton, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. The work covers filter sections, dampers and louvres and drain trays, and common reasons people get in touch are leaves and litter drawn into the unit and plant that needs cleaning after a refit.

Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows.

We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.

How we quote

Nearby too are Bevois Town Primary School (within half a mile west), The Hobbit pub (within half a mile west) and St Anne's Catholic School (0.6 miles south-west).

Ventilation across Southampton

In Southampton, systems range from big plant rooms in places such as Shirley, Regents Park and Townhill Park to single units tucked in a roof void. Filters, coils, drain trays and ducts all need attention, whatever the size.

Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites across Southampton don’t have to lose a day. Near the coast in Southampton, salt and damp speed up corrosion in fans, ducts and dampers, and corrosion is one of the things that can stop a fire damper closing.

Southampton: Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Royal South Hants Hospital (about within half a mile south) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. If you run an office near St Denys station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside.

What your team can do, and what needs us

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Common problems we fix in Southampton

Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Southampton, that is air they breathe for hours at a time.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
Filters that are clogged or overdue
Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
Units that have only ever had filter changes

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

Honest limits

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what AHU cleaning will not do:

Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately

Why act early?

A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. The result is extra wear and a building that doesn’t feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown.

Questions to ask before booking

Whether VAT is included

FAQs for Southampton

Will you repair the fan or motor?

We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with the details in the report.

Which sectors do you work in?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.

How far ahead should we book?

For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

What accreditations do you have?

We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.

What’s TR19?

It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
