Leigh Park buildings and their air
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 8 schools, colleges and universities and about 30 care, childcare and hospital premises with registered kitchens or food service within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Leigh Park. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. About 58 miles out from central London, Leigh Park is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. About 1 mile south of Leigh Park is Havant War Memorial Hospital, the nearest hospital. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.
For schools like Riders Infant School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

AHU cleaning in Leigh Park
We clean air handling units for buildings in Leigh Park and across Hampshire, working to TR19® Air, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. The work covers heating and cooling coils, internal panels and supply and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are dust built up on fan impellers and dust-coated heating and cooling coils.
In a place like Leigh Park, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, where they’re easy to forget. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Part by part
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. We record their condition with photos so repairs can be planned.
Heating and cooling coils
Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. They’re cleaned using methods that won’t bend or flatten the fins.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Leigh Park
Can you get to a site in Leigh Park?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Leigh Park included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can a school’s ventilation in Leigh Park be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Leigh Park, the Food Standards Agency lists about 8 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can quote for both.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes, both a certificate and a report with pictures. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Common problems we fix in Leigh Park
Whatever surrounds a building in Leigh Park, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and the finer material travels on.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 1 mile south, is the nearest hospital to Leigh Park, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Report water on the plant room floor
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Make sure condensate is draining away
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, and note any part we couldn’t get to. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Everything the job in Leigh Park needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
