AHU cleaning in Bedhampton

An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. If you are dealing with plant that needs cleaning after a refit and dirty fans and fan housings, we can help, from filter sections, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils onwards.

Around a place like Bedhampton, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Bedhampton?

Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids, so they’re easy to forget about. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • Dirty fans and fan housings
  • Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
  • Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
  • Odours coming through the supply air

For schools like Bidbury Junior School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
  • When the next visit should be, and why
  • What paperwork you get at the end
  • Whether VAT is included

Bedhampton buildings and their air

The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 9 schools, colleges and universities and about 32 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises with registered kitchens or food service within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bedhampton. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. For Bedhampton, the closest hospital is Havant War Memorial Hospital, roughly 0.7 miles east. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. Bedhampton is about 59 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.

Bedhampton: your questions answered

Do you cover smaller places like Bedhampton?

Yes, Bedhampton is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Can a school’s ventilation in Bedhampton be done out of term time?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Bedhampton, the Food Standards Agency lists about 9 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.

Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?

Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted.

How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?

Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.

Which sectors do you work in?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.

Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?

All the internal parts the air touches, from intake to discharge, including coils, fan and drain trays. The photo report shows each section before and after.

Are you fully insured?

Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size of the system
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • The condition of the system
  • Parking and loading at the site

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What we need to know

You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:

  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

When something else is needed

AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:

  • Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
  • Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
  • Controls and BMS settings that run the unit

If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Where we work

  • Heating and cooling coils
  • Drain trays
  • Supply and extract fans
  • Filter sections
  • Dampers and louvres
  • Internal panels

How it works

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Bedhampton, so let us know how to reach it.

  1. The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
  2. We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
  3. Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
  4. Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
  5. The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.

How to prepare

  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Let us know about parking and loading

Advice

For landlords and multi-site operators

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Bedhampton and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

How the job changes from site to site

Fans and fan sections

Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.

Heating and cooling coils

Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
