Different parts, different methods
Internal casing and panels
We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we are done before the unit is handed back.
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and clean the filter housing.
AHU cleaning in East Hampnett
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with pictures, so the report shows exactly what was done. The work covers internal panels, supply and extract fans and heating and cooling coils, and common reasons people get in touch are coils clogged with dust and debris and air handling units due a clean after building work.
In a village or hamlet like East Hampnett, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. For a village or hamlet like East Hampnett, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work

FAQs for East Hampnett
Do you work overnight in East Hampnett?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in East Hampnett can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Can you get to a site in East Hampnett?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and East Hampnett is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from intake to discharge, including coils, fan and drain trays. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What happens if it’s left?
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt does not stay put. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
