Ventilation in Boyatt Wood buildings
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 15 schools, colleges and universities, about 34 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 3 hotels and guest houses with registered kitchens or food service within about 1.5 miles of central Boyatt Wood. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. Boyatt Wood’s nearest hospital, Moorgreen Hospital, is about 3.9 miles south-east. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.
School buildings such as Crestwood Community School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed. If you run an office near Eastleigh station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside.

How we handle AHU cleaning in Boyatt Wood
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. If you have air handling units never cleaned inside and filters that are clogged or overdue, we can put it right, from supply and extract fans, heating and cooling coils and internal panels onwards.
Smaller buildings around Boyatt Wood often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, out of sight and easy to overlook. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Units that have only ever had filter changes

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Boyatt Wood: your questions answered
Will you come out to Boyatt Wood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can ventilation in schools around Boyatt Wood be cleaned out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 15 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Boyatt Wood. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
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.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How long will the unit be out of action?
The work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Bigger units can be phased, and you can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to plan it.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections

Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Boyatt Wood
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Boyatt Wood when you book.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- 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.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
