AHU cleaning in Romsey, done properly
Where a building in Romsey has had little more than filter changes, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full clean deals with all of it. If you are dealing with rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays, we can help, from filter sections, drain trays and dampers and louvres onwards.
Buildings in towns like Romsey often have ventilation added in stages, with units on the roof or in a plant room. An inspection shows which parts need cleaning.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Questions from Romsey
Can a school’s ventilation in Romsey be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 6 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Romsey. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you cover Romsey for AHU cleaning?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Romsey included. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few pictures of the system.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do you work evenings or weekends?
Yes. The clean is planned around when the unit can be switched off. In hospitals and care homes, we agree timings with the site team.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and we’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Common problems we fix in Romsey
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
For schools like Romsey Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of insurance
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place

How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a site in a town like Romsey, tell us your opening hours, where we can park and how we reach the roof or plant.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Part by part
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
