Hampshire · Air handling unit cleaning
Lower Burgate AHU cleaning
One call covers cleaning of air handling units, including filters, coils, drain trays, fans and internal surfaces in Lower Burgate, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Book the next check in line with the report
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can survey both.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
About our AHU cleaning in Lower Burgate
Where a building in Lower Burgate has had little more than filter changes, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full clean deals with all of it. If you are dealing with air handling units with blocked filters and dust built up on fan impellers, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Lower Burgate, 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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Visits to a village like Lower Burgate are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Lower Burgate questions
Can the work in Lower Burgate be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you clean school ventilation in Lower Burgate during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Lower Burgate. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 4 schools, colleges and universities and about 8 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises serving food within about 1.5 miles of central Lower Burgate.

Leave it or put it right?
When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. That makes the next inspection of a building in Lower Burgate simpler. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Lower Burgate rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why us?
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- A fixed price before any work starts
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Lower Burgate
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- A system that’s undersized for the building
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Odours coming through the supply air
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Condensate trays that will not empty
