What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
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.
AHU cleaning in Clatterford, done properly
Our AHU cleans for sites in Clatterford cover the parts that collect dirt: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. We are often asked to deal with fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and air handling units with blocked filters, across internal panels, drain trays and heating and cooling coils.
Somewhere as small as Clatterford, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What a clean won’t put right
AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Ventilation in Clatterford buildings
Food Standards Agency data includes about 6 schools, colleges and universities and about 7 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) in Clatterford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Clatterford’s nearest hospital, Whitecroft Hospital, is about 1.3 miles south-east. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.
Classrooms and halls at schools such as St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Clatterford, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Whitecroft Hospital (about 1.3 miles south-east).

Local landmarks in Clatterford
In Clatterford, that means kitchens and buildings near The Waverley pub, Island Innovation VI Form Campus and Christ The King College, among other places. A little further out are Whitecroft Hospital (1.3 miles south-east) and Carisbrooke Castle (under half a mile east). For a walk, there’s Brighstone Down and Briddlesford Nature Reserve.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can survey both.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Common questions in Clatterford
Do you work at weekends in Clatterford?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Clatterford?
Yes, Clatterford is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
It takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and the quote will give you a clear idea.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the AHU cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Clatterford run smoothly.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Standing water in a drain tray does not clear itself. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
