Part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. Cleaning keeps it running as intended.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lychpit
No two plant rooms are the same, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. Every job starts with a survey, from photos or on site, followed by a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. If you are dealing with units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and stale or musty smells from the ventilation, we can put it right.
For a building in or near Lychpit, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What a clean will not put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on in Lychpit

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. For a village or hamlet like Lychpit, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
What affects the quote in Lychpit
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Common problems we fix in Lychpit
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For the people using the building every day, that is the air they breathe for hours on end.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 2.6 miles west, is the nearest hospital to Lychpit, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
What to look for in a quote
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
