About our AHU cleaning in Chute Forest
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. The work covers internal panels, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans, and people most often call us about coils clogged with dust and debris and drain trays holding standing water.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Leave it or put it right?
Dirt left in an air handling unit doesn’t stay in the unit. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. It’s simpler to plan the work at Chute Forest now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What we work on in Chute Forest
- Filter sections
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
- Drain trays
- Supply and extract fans
What we are called out for in Chute Forest
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray does not fall properly, water stands in it, and slime and smells soon follow.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 4.3 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Chute Forest, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
What to look for in a quote
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Report water on the plant room floor
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
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 to a regular schedule.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

When should our AHU next be cleaned?

How long does an AHU clean take?
Expect it to take one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Size, layout and how dirty it is decide the rest, and the quote will give you a clear idea.

Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.

It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.

How the job changes from site to site
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. Cleaning keeps it running as intended.
