Common problems we fix in Itchen Stoke
No filter stops everything. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, a little more each month.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
If you manage a school such as Perins School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

How we handle AHU cleaning in Itchen Stoke
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. Typical jobs include condensate trays that won’t empty and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, across supply and extract fans, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils.
For a building in or near Itchen Stoke, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Why act early in Itchen Stoke
When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. That makes the next inspection of a building in Itchen Stoke simpler. If the system at a site near Itchen Stoke fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.

The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the AHU cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. In a small place like Itchen Stoke, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Different parts, different methods
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe in agreement with the site.
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. We protect the area below before opening them.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can quote for both.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Building management system faults
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
