AHU cleaning in Lee
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so the report shows exactly what was done. The work covers supply and extract fans, dampers and louvres and drain trays, and the jobs we see most are air handling units with blocked filters and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs.
Somewhere as small as Lee, ducted ventilation is typically 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, 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 happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Lee.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- 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
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
When to call us in Lee
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and that’s where slime and odours start.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Romsey Community Hospital (about 2.3 miles north) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
What your quote should include
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we’ve finished. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to confirm water is draining away.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.
FAQs for Lee
Is AHU cleaning available in Lee?
Yes, we work in Lee and the places around it. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you work in Lee outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, and new panels can be fitted.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Why deal with it now?
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. In a small place like Lee, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
