About our AHU cleaning in Lodsworth
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. The work covers drain trays, dampers and louvres and internal panels, and the jobs we see most are air handling units never cleaned inside and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake.
Somewhere as small as Lodsworth, ducted ventilation is normally 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can quote for both.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
How we price AHU cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Lodsworth
Can you get to a site in Lodsworth?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work overnight in Lodsworth?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
That is set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

What else we do in Lodsworth
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer

Common problems we fix in Lodsworth
No filter stops everything. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, a little more each month.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Dirty fans and fan housings
Healthcare buildings such as Midhurst Community Hospital, about 2.4 miles west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Lodsworth, yours matters too.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If they look at the system before pricing
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Visits to a village like Lodsworth are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Part by part
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. The filter section is cleaned so new or cleaned filters sit properly.
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. We record their condition with pictures so you can decide on any repairs.
