AHU cleaning across Hoe Gate and nearby, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Air handling units due a clean after building work

How it works
We turn up 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. The work itself takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. For a village or hamlet like Hoe Gate, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking 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.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
AHU cleaning in Hoe Gate, done properly
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Hoe Gate and the rest of Hampshire, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. We are often asked to deal with air handling units with blocked filters and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs, across heating and cooling coils, drain trays and filter sections.
Work in a small place like Hoe Gate starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Questions from Hoe Gate
Can ventilation in schools around Hoe Gate be cleaned out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Hoe Gate, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you get to a site in Hoe Gate?
Yes, Hoe Gate is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
There’s no single answer; it comes down to the building and the unit. Regular inspection shows when it’s due, and the report recommends a next date.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what AHU cleaning won’t do:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
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.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
Common problems we fix in Hoe Gate
An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and the finer material travels on.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
Hospitals such as Knowle Hospital (about 4.6 miles south-west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Hoe Gate are no different.

Part by part
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. We note any we find in the report.
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. Their condition goes into the report with photos so you can decide on any repairs.
Leave it or put it right?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. Somewhere as small as Hoe Gate, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

- Survey first, then a fixed quote
