Hampshire · Air handling unit cleaning
Air handling unit cleaning in Ashfield, Hampshire
We cover Ashfield for air handling unit cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Ashfield
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. We’re often asked to deal with coils clogged with dust and debris and air handling units with blocked filters, across internal panels, heating and cooling coils and filter sections.
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.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common questions in Ashfield
Can you get to a site in Ashfield?
Yes, Ashfield is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you do AHU cleaning in Ashfield?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Ashfield included. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details of the site.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, and new panels can be fitted.
What do you clean inside the unit?
We clean the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and internal casing. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, including anything we think needs attention.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Ashfield?
It matters for two reasons: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Ashfield, that’s air they breathe for hours at a time.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
Romsey Community Hospital, about 2.2 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Ashfield, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
What to look for in a quote
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- How VAT is shown on the quote
What happens if it’s left?
A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. It also means the next inspection has less to find. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Ashfield is calmer for everyone.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.

- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote

Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Building management system faults
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
