AHU cleaning in Hatch Warren: local notes
There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities and about 13 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) on the FSA’s food hygiene register across Hatch Warren and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. At about 48 miles from central London, Hatch Warren sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. The nearest hospital to Hatch Warren is Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 3.2 miles north. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.
For schools like Hatch Warren Infant School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hatch Warren
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. If you have drain trays holding standing water and dirty filters cutting the airflow, we can put it right.
Around a place like Hatch Warren, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Hatch Warren: your questions answered
Can you come to Hatch Warren after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Hatch Warren keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Will you come out to Hatch Warren?
Yes. Hatch Warren is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Are you insured?

Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Hatch Warren?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Common problems we fix in Hatch Warren
It matters for two reasons: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For the people using the building every day, that’s the air they breathe for hours on end.
What we are most often called out for:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (about 3.2 miles north) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
Before booking anyone

- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours

Leave it or put it right?
Standing water in a drain tray doesn’t clear itself. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. A site near Hatch Warren that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
How we price AHU cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What the work involves, part by part
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. We record their condition with photos so you can decide on any repairs.
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. We note any we find in the report.
What we do, step by step
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 first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Hatch Warren when you book.
- 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.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
