AHU cleaning in Curbridge, done properly
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. The work covers heating and cooling coils, filter sections and drain trays, and common reasons people get in touch are air handling units due a clean after building work and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays.
In a smaller place like Curbridge, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Curbridge?
Air handling units are typically tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Dirty fans and fan housings
Healthcare buildings such as Knowle Hospital, about 2.3 miles south-east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Curbridge, yours matters too.

What else we do in Curbridge
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Curbridge, so let us know how to reach it.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Related advice
Different parts, different methods
Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
Curbridge questions
Will you come out to Curbridge?
Yes. Curbridge is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Curbridge be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. Filters are cleaned or changed as agreed in the quote.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
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.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
Cleaning takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Bigger units can be phased, and you can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email to plan it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Ventilation in Curbridge buildings
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 4 care, childcare and hospital premises with registered kitchens or food service across Curbridge and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. The nearest hospital to Curbridge is Knowle Hospital, about 2.3 miles south-east. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.

What affects the quote in Curbridge
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, based on what we found. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.
