AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Fareham Common
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Fareham Common and the rest of Hampshire, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. The work covers internal panels, filter sections and heating and cooling coils, and the jobs we see most are stale or musty smells from the ventilation and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris.
In a smaller place like Fareham Common, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Fareham Common
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Fareham Common?
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
If you run an office near Fareham station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures

Fareham Common questions
Will you come out to Fareham Common?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Fareham Common is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can a school’s ventilation in Fareham Common be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 16 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Fareham Common. You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We will flag anything we notice during the clean.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. Filters are cleaned or changed as agreed in the quote.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Fareham Common?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a place like Fareham Common are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
