Do you need AHU cleaning in Broadgate?
It matters for two reasons: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Broadgate, that is air they breathe for hours at a time.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Dust built up on fan impellers
Hospitals such as Romsey Community Hospital (about 3.2 miles west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Broadgate are no different.

About our AHU cleaning in Broadgate
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. Common call-outs are for plant that has been serviced but not cleaned and odours coming through the supply air, across internal panels, dampers and louvres and drain trays.
Work in a small place like Broadgate starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Each 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
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. 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 call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Broadgate before we set off.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
What affects the quote in Broadgate
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
For AHU cleaning in Broadgate, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Why it’s worth doing now in Broadgate
Dirt left in an air handling unit doesn’t stay in the unit. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can quote for both.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
FAQs for Broadgate
Do you work in villages like Broadgate?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Broadgate included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can ventilation in schools around Broadgate be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Broadgate. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Expect it to take one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Size, layout and how dirty it is decide the rest, and the quote will give you a clear idea.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What AHU cleaning looks like in Broadgate
There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities and about 7 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register in Broadgate and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. Broadgate’s nearest hospital, Romsey Community Hospital, is about 3.2 miles west. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital.
Wherever a school like Ampfield Church of England Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
