AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Martin
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Martin and the rest of Hampshire, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. The work covers heating and cooling coils, internal panels and dampers and louvres, and the jobs we see most are plant that has been serviced but not cleaned and odours coming through the supply air.
In a village or hamlet like Martin, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Martin
Whatever surrounds a building in Martin, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and the finer material travels on.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
Every job around Martin ends with a record of what was cleaned and what was found.
Before you book anyone

- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote shows VAT
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Common questions in Martin
Can you come to Martin after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you get to a site in Martin?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Martin included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Martin?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
How long does an AHU clean take?
The work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Bigger units can be phased, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form to talk it through.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
The main parts are the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and inside of the casing. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Report water on the plant room floor
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we’ve finished. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to confirm water is draining away.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
What affects the quote in Martin
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Why it’s worth doing now in Martin
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt does not stay put. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. Planning a trip to Martin ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a village like Martin 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.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- 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
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Drain trays can rust and leak over time. Their condition goes into the report with pictures so you can decide on any repairs.
