AHU cleaning in Broadbridge
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and give you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. The work covers dampers and louvres, internal panels and heating and cooling coils, and people most often call us about drain trays holding standing water and dust-coated heating and cooling coils.
Somewhere as small as Broadbridge, ducted ventilation is normally 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. 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. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Broadbridge run smoothly.
- 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.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
Do you need AHU cleaning in Broadbridge?
No filter stops everything. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
Workplaces around Bosham station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Leave it or put it right?
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Broadbridge can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
Different parts, different methods
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. Their condition goes into the report with photos so you can decide on any repairs.
Internal casing and panels
Access doors and panels are opened in turn and closed properly afterwards before the unit is handed back.
How we price AHU cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
