How we handle AHU cleaning in Easton
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 photos, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. We’re often asked to deal with coils clogged with dust and debris and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs, across dampers and louvres, heating and cooling coils and drain trays.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to make sure it stays clear.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Visits to a village like Easton are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

What else we do in Easton
What AHU cleaning cannot fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what AHU cleaning won’t do:
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
- Drain trays
When to call us in Easton
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
An inspection comes first for any ventilation job around Easton, so the cleaning matches what’s there.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether a survey comes first
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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. That is our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Easton
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Easton and across the Isle of Wight. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What affects the quote in Easton
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- 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
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

Easton questions
Do you work overnight in Easton?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Easton needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Easton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Easton is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. We can’t clean a running unit, so it’s switched off and made safe first. We agree the timing with your site team.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
