AHU cleaning in Priddy's Hard, done properly
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, in the airstream that feeds the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. If you are dealing with dirty fans and fan housings and stale or musty smells from the ventilation, we can help.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

When to call us in Priddy's Hard
It matters for two reasons: 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 are asked about most include:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
Healthcare buildings such as Gosport War Memorial Hospital, about 1.4 miles south-west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Priddy's Hard, yours matters too.

Questions from Priddy's Hard
Can the work in Priddy's Hard be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Priddy's Hard within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Priddy's Hard included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. Cleaning the unit and ducts together often makes sense, and we can quote for both.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
If you need AHU cleaning in Priddy's Hard, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
Stick to the filter change schedule, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
Why act early in Priddy's Hard
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. Planning a trip to Priddy's Hard ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Different parts, different methods
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. We photograph them for the report.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
