Durley AHU cleaning
Looking for AHU cleaning in Durley? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Condensate trays that will not empty
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Durley knowing what to expect.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Durley
Where a building in Durley has had little more than filter changes, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. If you have dirty coils holding back the airflow and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, we can help, from supply and extract fans, drain trays and heating and cooling coils onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Durley, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Durley
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.

Why it’s worth doing now in Durley
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. In a place like Durley, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will talk you through it.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Durley and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.
What we are called out for in Durley
Air handling units are typically tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings, so they’re easy to forget about. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
School buildings such as Durley Church of England Controlled Primary School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Durley
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Durley in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Durley. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you come to Durley after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Durley doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Do you work in Durley?
Yes. Our technicians work in Durley, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How long will the unit be out of action?
As a guide, it takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. We plan the shutdown around that, out of hours if needed.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
