How we handle AHU cleaning in Nettlecombe
We clean air handling units for buildings in Nettlecombe and across the Isle of Wight, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. The work covers heating and cooling coils, drain trays and supply and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are filters that are clogged or overdue and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

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 the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Nettlecombe, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

Nettlecombe: your questions answered
Is AHU cleaning available in Nettlecombe?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Nettlecombe included. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few details of the site.
Can you get to a site in Nettlecombe?
Yes. Nettlecombe is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What do you clean inside the unit?
We clean the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and internal casing. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. We recommend a next date in each report.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We clean the unit and report anything we see that needs attention.
Other services in Nettlecombe
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Nettlecombe
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What happens if it’s left?
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. In a small place like Nettlecombe, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
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 are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
