AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Knapp
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Knapp and the rest of Hampshire, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. If you’re dealing with condensate trays that won’t empty and odours coming through the supply air, we can help.
For a building in or near Knapp, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
A written report with photos follows every 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.

For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Somewhere like Knapp, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.

How we price AHU cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Knapp questions
Do you cover smaller places like Knapp?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Knapp included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Knapp?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.
Drain trays
A tray that doesn’t drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.

What we’re called out for in Knapp
It matters for two reasons: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Knapp, that is air they breathe for hours at a time.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
Wherever a school like Ampfield Church of England Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If they look at the system before pricing
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
