What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Hursley.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.

Advice
AHU cleaning in Hursley, done properly
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and give you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. We are often asked to deal with drain trays holding standing water and dust built up on fan impellers, on dampers and louvres, drain trays and supply and extract fans.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s 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.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Hursley
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, a little more each month.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
Healthcare buildings such as Royal Hampshire County Hospital, about 3.6 miles north-east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Hursley, yours matters too.
Questions to ask before you book
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the price is fixed
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Book the next check in line with the report
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
Different parts, different methods
Rooftop and plant room units
Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. We protect the area below before opening them.

Hursley questions
Can you clean school ventilation in Hursley during the holidays?
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 Hursley. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Is Hursley within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hursley is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. We can’t clean a running unit, so it’s switched off and made safe first. The shutdown is planned with whoever runs the building.
What about areas you cannot get to?
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.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
Typically the clean takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. The shutdown is planned to fit, out of hours if needed.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
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.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
