How we handle AHU cleaning in Hunton
Our AHU cleans for sites in Hunton cover the parts that collect dirt: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. If you are dealing with condensate trays that won’t empty and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs, we can help, from internal panels, filter sections and drain trays onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Hunton, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Hunton.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- 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.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Different parts, different methods
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that will not bend or flatten the fins.
Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Hunton
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
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. Planning a trip to Hunton ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
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 play a part.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Hunton?
Filters that aren’t changed or cleaned on time clog up, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Oakwood Hospital (about 3.7 miles north) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

Hunton: your questions answered
Can ventilation in schools around Hunton be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Hunton. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Will you come out to Hunton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with the details in the report.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from intake to discharge, including coils, fan and drain trays. The photo report shows each section before and after.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Regular inspection shows when it’s due, and we will suggest an interval after the first clean.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
