About our AHU cleaning in Chineham
We clean air handling units for buildings in Chineham and across Hampshire, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. The work covers drain trays, filter sections and internal panels, and common reasons people get in touch are rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and plant that needs cleaning after a refit.
Around a place like Chineham, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Questions from Chineham
Can a school’s ventilation in Chineham be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 14 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Chineham. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can you work in Chineham outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Chineham can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. We recommend a next date in each report.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Every section that collects dirt: filters, coils, tray, fan and panels. We confirm the scope after looking at the unit.
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Building management system faults
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
Part by part
Internal casing and panels
We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we’re done before the unit is handed back.
Drain trays
Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. We clear standing water, clean out slime and check the outlet is draining.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Everything the job in Chineham needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Chineham
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Chineham can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. When a site near Chineham shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What you get with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Each visit written up, with photos
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Chineham
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.
