AHU cleaning in Nately Scures
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. Every job starts with a survey, from pictures or on site, followed by a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. We are often asked to deal with stale or musty smells from the ventilation and dust-coated heating and cooling coils, across internal panels, heating and cooling coils and dampers and louvres.
For a building in or near Nately Scures, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Somewhere as small as Nately Scures, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Why it’s worth doing now in Nately Scures
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. Somewhere as small as Nately Scures, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Take a look at what affects the cost and how to check a contractor.
What the work involves, part by part
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. Cleaning keeps it running as intended.
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.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
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.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
What we’re called out for in Nately Scures
No filter stops everything. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, a little more each month.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Odours coming through the supply air
Hospitals such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (about 5.3 miles west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Nately Scures are no different.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Nately Scures
Can you clean school ventilation in Nately Scures during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Nately Scures. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can the work in Nately Scures be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Nately Scures needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Mechanical repairs to the unit are for your HVAC maintenance contractor. We clean the unit and report anything we see that needs attention.
