Advice
AHU cleaning in Eastrop, done properly
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. The work covers dampers and louvres, drain trays and filter sections, and common reasons people get in touch are units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and stale or musty smells from the ventilation.
In a place like Eastrop, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, out of sight and easy to overlook. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Why it’s worth doing now in Eastrop
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. When a site near Eastrop shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Why book with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Every visit written up, with photos
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

Ventilation in Eastrop buildings
Food Standards Agency records list about 28 schools, colleges and universities, about 22 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 6 hotels and B&Bs registered as food businesses in Eastrop and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. About 1.6 miles north-west of Eastrop is Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, the nearest hospital. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.

Wherever a school like The Costello School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (about 1.6 miles north-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. If you manage offices or shops near Basingstoke station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours.

How we price AHU cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form 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. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
When we’ve 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 confirm water is draining away.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Common questions in Eastrop
Can ventilation in schools around Eastrop be cleaned out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 28 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Eastrop. You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work in villages like Eastrop?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Eastrop included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
That is set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.
What do you clean inside the unit?
The main parts are the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and inside of the casing. We confirm the scope after looking at the unit.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes, while the clean is under way. Out-of-hours work is available to keep disruption down.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Cleaning takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Bigger units can be phased, so give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form to talk it through.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
