About our AHU cleaning in Godshill
No two plant rooms are the same, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. If you’re dealing with dirty coils holding back the airflow and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, we can put it right, from drain trays, filter sections and dampers and louvres onwards.
For a building in or near Godshill, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Godshill: your questions answered
Can you work in Godshill outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Godshill doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Godshill?
Yes, Godshill is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. We agree the timing with your site team.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Godshill?
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray doesn’t fall properly, water stands in it, and that’s where slime and odours start.
Look out for any of the following:
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
If you manage a school such as Godshill Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. The timing of a visit to Godshill is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to make sure it stays clear.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.

What affects the quote in Godshill
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
