AHU cleaning in Calbourne, done properly
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. Every job starts with a survey, from photos or on site, followed by a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. If you’re dealing with debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and condensate trays that won’t empty, we can help, from filter sections, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

What affects the quote in Calbourne
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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.

What else we do in Calbourne
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can quote for both.
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.
Part by part
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. Their condition goes into the report with pictures so repairs can be planned.
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we will tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Calbourne questions
Will you come out to Calbourne?
Yes. Calbourne is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you offer AHU cleaning in Calbourne?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Calbourne included. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few photos of the system.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Calbourne?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
