AHU cleaning in Parkhurst
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. The work covers heating and cooling coils, drain trays and filter sections, and the jobs we see most are rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and drain trays holding standing water.
Somewhere as small as Parkhurst, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Parkhurst
Do you work overnight in Parkhurst?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Parkhurst keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Parkhurst?
Yes, Parkhurst is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. The shutdown is planned with whoever runs the building.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.

How we price AHU cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Leave it or put it right?
If people in a building in Parkhurst complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. A planned visit to Parkhurst is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the AHU cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Parkhurst before we set off.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

What the work involves, part by part
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. Cleaning keeps it running as intended.
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. Anything like that is recorded with pictures.
AHU cleaning in Parkhurst: local notes
There are about 17 schools, colleges and universities, about 11 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of central Parkhurst. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. About within half a mile south of Parkhurst is St Mary's Hospital, the nearest hospital. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Hunnyhill Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Parkhurst, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like St Mary's Hospital (about under half a mile south).

When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Building management system faults
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, and that’s where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
