AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Letcombe Regis
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. If you’re dealing with units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned, we can put it right, from internal panels, heating and cooling coils and filter sections onwards.
Somewhere as small as Letcombe Regis, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What AHU cleaning cannot fix
AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- A system that’s undersized for the building
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Drain trays
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
Part by part
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that won’t bend or flatten the fins.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Letcombe Regis
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, and that is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Letcombe Regis questions
Can a school’s ventilation in Letcombe Regis be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Letcombe Regis. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you work in Letcombe Regis outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Letcombe Regis doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes, while the clean is under way. Out-of-hours work is available so the building isn’t left without ventilation when it’s busy.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, with new panels fitted where needed.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you cover Letcombe Regis?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Letcombe Regis included.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive 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 first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. In a small place like Letcombe Regis, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
What we are called out for in Letcombe Regis
An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and some travels further into the unit.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
School buildings such as St Nicholas CofE Primary School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
