Common questions in Branstone
Can you work in Branstone outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Branstone keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you offer AHU cleaning in Branstone?
Yes, we work in Branstone and the places around it. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few details of the site.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
There’s no single answer; it comes down to the building and the unit. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and we will suggest an interval after the first clean.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. We’ll tell you after the survey whether the ducts need it.

For a building in or near Branstone, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.

AHU cleaning around Branstone

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. In a small place like Branstone, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
Do you need AHU cleaning in Branstone?
Filters that are not changed or cleaned on time clog up, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Dust built up on fan impellers
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Newchurch Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Branstone
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

What else we do in Branstone
How the job changes from site to site
Drain trays
A tray that doesn’t drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
How we price AHU cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A system that’s undersized for the building
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.
