How we handle AHU cleaning in Fawley
Our AHU cleans for sites in Fawley cover the parts that collect dirt: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after photos in a report. We’re often asked to deal with condensate trays that won’t empty and dirty filters cutting the airflow, across internal panels, drain trays and filter sections.
In a village or hamlet like Fawley, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Leave it or put it right?
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. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. The timing of a visit to Fawley is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
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.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.
Ventilation in Fawley buildings
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities and about 4 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises registered as food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Fawley. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Coldeast is the nearest hospital, about 4.2 miles north-east of Fawley. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital.
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Fawley Infant School are easiest to work in when pupils are away. Hospitals such as Coldeast (about 4.2 miles north-east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Fawley are no different.

Questions from Fawley
Can a school’s ventilation in Fawley be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Fawley. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Is Fawley within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Fawley included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, with any faults we noticed.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes, for the time we are working on it. We can work evenings, overnight or at weekends so the building isn’t left without ventilation when it’s busy.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
When it’s something else

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. Anything like that is recorded with photos.
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and clean the filter housing.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
