AHU cleaning in Begbroke, done properly
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with photos, so the report shows exactly what was done. If you’re dealing with dirty filters cutting the airflow and leaves and litter drawn into the unit, we can put it right, from supply and extract fans, filter sections and dampers and louvres onwards.
For a building in or near Begbroke, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Why deal with it now?
Standing water in a drain tray does not clear itself. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. In a place like Begbroke, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
What AHU cleaning looks like in Begbroke
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 5 schools, colleges and universities and about 5 care, childcare and hospital premises with registered kitchens or food service in Begbroke and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. We cover Begbroke, about 57 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. The nearest hospital to Begbroke is Acland Hospital, about 4.9 miles south-east. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital.
Wherever a school like William Fletcher Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Common questions in Begbroke
Can you clean school ventilation in Begbroke during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Begbroke. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you work in Begbroke outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Begbroke can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Cleaning takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Bigger units can be phased, and you can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to plan it.
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.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes, both a certificate and a report with photos. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.
Do you repair air handling units?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. Any faults we notice are recorded for your maintenance team to follow up.
What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere as small as Begbroke, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
