AHU cleaning in Hempton
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 pictures or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. The work covers drain trays, dampers and louvres and internal panels, and people most often call us about dust built up on fan impellers and odours coming through the supply air.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What AHU cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When to call us in Hempton
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and slime and smells soon follow.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
In Hempton, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.

The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Somewhere like Hempton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
How we price AHU cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
FAQs for Hempton
Do you work overnight in Hempton?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Hempton in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Hempton, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Is Hempton in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Hempton, within the South East and London area we cover.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Typically the clean takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. The shutdown is planned to fit, including evenings or weekends.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
How the job changes from site to site
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. We record their condition with pictures so repairs can be planned.
Rooftop and plant room units
Many AHUs sit on roofs or in plant rooms with limited access. Access is planned during the survey, before we quote.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. 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.
