AHU cleaning in Chisbridge Cross
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. The work covers heating and cooling coils, internal panels and drain trays, and the jobs we see most are dirty filters cutting the airflow and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays.
For a building in or near Chisbridge Cross, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Rooftop and plant room units
Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. They’re photographed before and after for your records.

FAQs for Chisbridge Cross
Do you work overnight in Chisbridge Cross?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Chisbridge Cross needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work in villages like Chisbridge Cross?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Chisbridge Cross is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
That is set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Chisbridge Cross.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Leave it or put it right?
Standing water in a drain tray doesn’t clear itself. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. Planning a trip to Chisbridge Cross ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
What affects the quote in Chisbridge Cross
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
