About our AHU cleaning in Boldre
We clean air handling units for buildings in Boldre and across Hampshire, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. If you have air handling units with blocked filters and coils clogged with dust and debris, we can put it right, from filter sections, internal panels and dampers and louvres onwards.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, 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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What AHU cleaning looks like in Boldre
There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities, about 4 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses on the FSA’s food hygiene register within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Boldre. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. The nearest hospital to Boldre is Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 0.8 miles south. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
Hospitals such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (about 0.8 miles south) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Boldre are no different.

Why act early in Boldre
Standing water in a drain tray doesn’t clear itself. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How the job changes from site to site
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. Anything like that is recorded with photos.
Drain trays
Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
Common problems we fix in Boldre
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
Wherever a school like William Gilpin Church of England Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Common questions in Boldre
Do you work overnight in Boldre?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Can ventilation in schools around Boldre be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Boldre. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
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.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. The timing of a visit to Boldre is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading

When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- A system that’s undersized for the building
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price AHU cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
