Part by part

Access doors and panels are opened in turn and closed properly afterwards before the unit is handed back.
Drain trays
A tray that doesn’t drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.
About our AHU cleaning in Chapmore End
No two plant rooms are the same, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. Typical jobs include units that have only ever had filter changes and leaves and litter drawn into the unit, on supply and extract fans, filter sections and dampers and louvres.
Work in a small place like Chapmore End starts with agreeing access and timings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- A system that is undersized for the building
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions in Chapmore End
Will you come out to Chapmore End?
Yes, Chapmore End is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Chapmore End be done at night or at weekends?

How much does AHU cleaning cost in Chapmore End?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and we’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.

What we are called out for in Chapmore End
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For the people using the building every day, that is the air they breathe for hours on end.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
For schools like Tonwell St Mary's Church of England Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Chapmore End before we set off.
- 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.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, taking into account how dirty it was. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
