AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Faberstown
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, right in the path of the air going into the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. Common call-outs are for blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and coils clogged with dust and debris, on filter sections, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans.
For a building in or near Faberstown, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere as small as Faberstown, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- 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.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Faberstown and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Make sure condensate is draining away
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
When to call us in Faberstown
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
An inspection comes first for any ventilation job around Faberstown, so the cleaning matches what’s there.

What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.

What a clean won’t put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what AHU cleaning will not do:
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Why deal with it now?
If people in a building in Faberstown complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
