- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Bramfield
It matters for two reasons: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For the people using the building every day, that’s the air they breathe for hours on end.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
Wherever a school like The Sele School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

About our AHU cleaning in Bramfield
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. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. Typical jobs include units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, on drain trays, heating and cooling coils and dampers and louvres.
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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Heating and cooling coils
Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. We clean them with care so the fins are not damaged.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. Access is planned during the survey so the quote reflects it.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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. Leave those to us.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Bramfield: your questions answered
Can the work in Bramfield be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Bramfield can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Bramfield?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bramfield is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. Any faults we notice are recorded so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Bramfield knowing what to expect.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
