About our AHU cleaning in Ashurst
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. If you have blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and dirty filters cutting the airflow, we can put it right, from heating and cooling coils, dampers and louvres and internal panels onwards.
Work in a small place like Ashurst starts with agreeing access and timings.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What the work involves, part by part
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
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 make sure it stays clear.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
Common problems we fix in Ashurst
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and that is where slime and odours start.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Condensate trays that will not empty
For workplaces around Ashurst New Forest station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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.
