AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in East Cholderton
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: 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, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. The work covers heating and cooling coils, supply and extract fans and internal panels, and common reasons people get in touch are odours coming through the supply air and filters that are clogged or overdue.
Somewhere as small as East Cholderton, ducted ventilation is normally 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What happens if it’s left?

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in East Cholderton before we set off.
- 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.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in East Cholderton
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line 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 usually come back within one working day.
Different parts, different methods
Drain trays
Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. We clear standing water, clean out slime and check the outlet is draining.
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
When to call us in East Cholderton
It matters for two reasons: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in East Cholderton, that is air they breathe for hours at a time.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Amport Church of England Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
Before you book anyone
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether a survey comes first
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A system that is undersized for the building
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
