Hampshire · Air handling unit cleaning
Air handling unit cleaning in Gosport, Hampshire
Cleaning of air handling units, including filters, coils, drain trays, fans and internal surfaces for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Gosport. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
What happens if it’s left?
Dirt left in an air handling unit does not stay in the unit. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- One number for every site across the South East and London
How we handle AHU cleaning in Gosport
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, with the unit switched off and made safe first. If you are dealing with dirty filters cutting the airflow and dust built up on fan impellers, we can help.
Work in a small place like Gosport starts with agreeing access and timings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What AHU cleaning looks like in Gosport
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 5 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) with registered kitchens or food service in Gosport and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. About 2.2 miles west of Gosport is Romsey Community Hospital, the nearest hospital. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital.
If you manage a school such as Ampfield Church of England Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Gosport
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and slime and smells soon follow.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Dust built up on fan impellers
Hospitals such as Romsey Community Hospital (about 2.2 miles west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Gosport are no different.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Gosport and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Gosport: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Gosport?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work in villages like Gosport?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Gosport is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How long will the unit be out of action?
It takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and the quote will give you a clear idea.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, including anything we think needs attention.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
