AHU Cleaning in Baughurst
Our technicians work in Baughurst on cleaning of air handling units, including filters, coils, drain trays, fans and internal surfaces. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures on every job.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Baughurst
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. We are often asked to deal with leaves and litter drawn into the unit and odours coming through the supply air, across supply and extract fans, drain trays and dampers and louvres.
For a building in or near Baughurst, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe in agreement with the site.
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can survey both.
Don’t let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.

What happens if it’s left?
Dirt left in an air handling unit does not stay in the unit. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. With notice, the visit to Baughurst can be fitted around your bookings and events.

Can you come to Baughurst after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Baughurst keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you clean school ventilation in Baughurst in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Baughurst. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
That is set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you survey before quoting?

Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.

Other services in Baughurst
Do you need AHU cleaning in Baughurst?
An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and the finer material travels on.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Dust built up on fan impellers
For schools like The Hurst School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Baughurst, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
