Air handling unit cleaning in Nutbourne, West Sussex

- Air handling units due a clean after building work
How we price AHU cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
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 so you know the cost before work begins.
AHU cleaning in Nutbourne
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. Common call-outs are for blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and coils clogged with dust and debris, across supply and extract fans, drain trays and filter sections.
For a building in or near Nutbourne, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re 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 your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. At about 57 miles from central London, Nutbourne sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. About 4.6 miles west of Nutbourne is Havant War Memorial Hospital, the nearest hospital. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital.

What else we do in Nutbourne
Part by part
Internal casing and panels
We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we are done, and check every one is shut.
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Nutbourne and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us where we can park and unload
