About our AHU cleaning in Mislingford
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, right in the path of the air going into the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. The work covers internal panels, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres, and people most often call us about plant that needs cleaning after a refit and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Mislingford
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Mislingford
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
If you manage a school such as Swanmore College of Technology, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- When the next visit should be, and why
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What insurance they carry
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Mislingford, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
When we’ve closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to make sure it stays clear.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
Questions from Mislingford
Can you come to Mislingford after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Mislingford doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you work in villages like Mislingford?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Mislingford included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
