Air handling unit cleaning in Blashford, Hampshire
AHU cleaning for Blashford, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.

- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Air handling units with blocked filters
AHU cleaning in Blashford, done properly
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, in the airstream that feeds the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. Typical jobs include dust built up on fan impellers and filters that are clogged or overdue, across filter sections, drain trays and internal panels.
Somewhere as small as Blashford, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. For a village or hamlet like Blashford, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Advice
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Blashford
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Blashford, that’s air they breathe for hours at a time.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
Healthcare buildings such as St Leonard's Hospital, about 4.5 miles south-west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Blashford, yours matters too.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Proof of insurance

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.
