AHU cleaning in Ashley, done properly
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. If you have leaves and litter drawn into the unit and coils clogged with dust and debris, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Ashley, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the visit works
Your staff don’t 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. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Ashley.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form 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.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Ashley and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What we’re called out for in Ashley
Air handling units are normally tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings, so they’re easy to forget about. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
For buildings in and around Ashley, TR19® Air cleaning starts with an inspection.

What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Is a quote from pictures 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.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes, while the clean is under way. We can work evenings, overnight or at weekends so the building is not left without ventilation when it’s busy.
What do you clean inside the unit?
The main parts are the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and inside of the casing. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.
Different parts, different methods
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
