How we handle AHU cleaning in Luccombe Village
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. The work covers supply and extract fans, heating and cooling coils and drain trays, and people most often call us about odours coming through the supply air and condensate trays that won’t empty.
In a village or hamlet like Luccombe Village, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Luccombe Village and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
If you need AHU cleaning in Luccombe Village, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Advice
How we price AHU cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Luccombe Village questions
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Luccombe Village in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Luccombe Village. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Will you come out to Luccombe Village?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Luccombe Village is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Expect it to take half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Size, layout and how dirty it is decide the rest, and the quote will give you a clear idea.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.

There are about 6 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 54 hotels and B&Bs on the FSA’s food hygiene register across Luccombe Village and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention.

How the job changes from site to site
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. Their condition goes into the report with pictures so you can decide on any repairs.
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.
