Part by part
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Hale Common
We clean air handling units for buildings in Hale Common and across the Isle of Wight, working to TR19® Air, 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. We are often asked to deal with condensate trays that won’t empty and dirty fans and fan housings, across drain trays, heating and cooling coils and dampers and louvres.
Work in a small place like Hale Common starts with agreeing access and timings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A system that is undersized for the building
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Hale Common before we set off.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Book the next check in line with the report
Stick to the filter change schedule, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
What happens if it’s left?
When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. It also means the next inspection has less to find. Somewhere as small as Hale Common, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What affects the quote in Hale Common

Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Common problems we fix in Hale Common
Air handling units are usually tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings, so they’re easy to forget about. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Drain trays holding standing water
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (about 2.4 miles south-east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
Before booking anyone
- Whether a survey comes first
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
