What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Some systems can be priced from photos; 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 any work starts.
AHU cleaning in Picket Piece, done properly
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. If you have air handling units never cleaned inside and leaves and litter drawn into the unit, we can put it right.
Around a place like Picket Piece, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Picket Piece
Can you come to Picket Piece after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Picket Piece keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you offer AHU cleaning in Picket Piece?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Picket Piece is part of that. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few pictures of the system.
Do you repair air handling units?
The clean includes noting faults, but repairs sit with your maintenance contractor, with the details in the report.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
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.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. The shutdown is planned with whoever runs the building.

Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 9 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises serving food within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Picket Piece. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. The nearest hospital to Picket Piece is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 2.4 miles west. 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 Pilgrims' Cross CofE Aided Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

Landmarks near Picket Piece

A little further out are Andover War Memorial Hospital (2.4 miles west) and Finkley Down Farm Museum (0.6 miles west). Not far away are Anton Lakes and Mill Lake.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When to call us in Picket Piece
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For the people using the building every day, that’s the air they breathe for hours on end.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Dust built up on fan impellers
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Picket Piece, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 2.4 miles west).
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether they recommend a next date
Why deal with it now?

The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

How the job changes from site to site
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. We photograph them for the report.
Drain trays
Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. In a place like Picket Piece, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.
