AHU cleaning in North Boarhunt, done properly
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and give you a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. If you have blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and filters that are clogged or overdue, we can put it right, from heating and cooling coils, filter sections and dampers and louvres onwards.
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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What AHU cleaning looks like in North Boarhunt
Food Standards Agency data includes about 3 care, childcare and hospital premises in North Boarhunt and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. Knowle Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 2.8 miles west of North Boarhunt. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.
If you manage a school such as Newtown Soberton Infant School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

What happens if it’s left?

What the work involves, part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. They’re cleaned using methods that won’t bend or flatten the fins.
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and clean the filter housing.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in North Boarhunt
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near North Boarhunt, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Knowle Hospital (about 2.8 miles west).

Do you work in North Boarhunt?

How far ahead should we book?

Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?

Do you repair air handling units?
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.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to North Boarhunt can be planned properly.
- 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.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
We do not 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 get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
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
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
