Hampshire · Air handling unit cleaning
Air handling unit cleaning in Burridge, Hampshire
AHU cleaning for Burridge, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
AHU cleaning in Burridge, done properly
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 pictures or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. We’re often asked to deal with plant that has been serviced but not cleaned and odours coming through the supply air, on filter sections, internal panels and drain trays.
Somewhere as small as Burridge, 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.
The report is your 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 are called out for in Burridge
No filter stops everything. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Air handling units with blocked filters
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Whiteley Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

- If they look at the system before pricing

What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a village like Burridge are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.

Common questions in Burridge

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like Burridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
Typically the clean takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. The shutdown is planned to fit, out of hours if needed.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
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.
