About our AHU cleaning in Binscombe
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. If you’re dealing with odours coming through the supply air and leaves and litter drawn into the unit, we can help, from supply and extract fans, internal panels and heating and cooling coils onwards.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
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.

Questions from Binscombe
Can a school’s ventilation in Binscombe be done out of term time?
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 Binscombe. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Will you come out to Binscombe?
Yes, Binscombe is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
Expect it to take from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and we’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can quote for both.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
AHU cleaning in Binscombe: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 schools, colleges and universities and about 13 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises registered as food businesses in and around Binscombe, up to about a mile and a half out. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. Binscombe is about 30 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. Binscombe’s nearest hospital, Farnham Road Hospital, is about 2.4 miles north-east. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.
For schools like Loseley Fields Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. If you manage shops or offices close to Farncombe station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.

When to call us in Binscombe
Air handling units are typically tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings, so they’re easy to forget about. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Farnham Road Hospital (about 2.4 miles north-east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Somewhere like Binscombe, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Advice
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
Why act early in Binscombe
When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. It also means the next inspection has less to find. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What you get with us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Every job surveyed first
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- In business since 2009
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Binscombe
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
