About our AHU cleaning in Itchen Abbas
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. The work covers heating and cooling coils, supply and extract fans and drain trays, and people most often call us about units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and dirty filters cutting the airflow.
Somewhere as small as Itchen Abbas, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Itchen Abbas
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
For AHU cleaning in Itchen Abbas, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
When it’s something else
AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Building management system faults
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. For a village or hamlet like Itchen Abbas, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. Anything like that is recorded with pictures.
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. Cleaning keeps it running as intended.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

Other services in Itchen Abbas
Do you need AHU cleaning in Itchen Abbas?
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Condensate trays that will not empty
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like St John's Rooms And Chapel (about 3.9 miles south-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
When we’ve closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to make sure it stays clear.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
