AHU Cleaning in Nutcombe
One call covers air handling unit cleaning in Nutcombe: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can survey both.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
AHU cleaning in Nutcombe, done properly
Our AHU cleans for sites in Nutcombe cover the parts that collect dirt: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. The work covers heating and cooling coils, supply and extract fans and filter sections, and the jobs we see most are air handling units never cleaned inside and condensate trays that won’t empty.
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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Honest limits
AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Supply and extract fans

Common questions in Nutcombe
Do you clean school ventilation in Nutcombe in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Nutcombe. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Can you get to a site in Nutcombe?
Yes. Nutcombe is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Expect it to take anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Size, layout and how dirty it is decide the rest, and we will confirm the time when we quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you repair air handling units?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are 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.

What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Nutcombe, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Common problems we fix in Nutcombe
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
Wherever a school like Amesbury School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
What to look for in a quote
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Proof of insurance
- What records you will receive afterwards

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something 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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
