Rookley Green AHU cleaning
Professional AHU cleaning in and around Rookley Green, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. 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.
About our AHU cleaning in Rookley Green
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. Every job starts with a survey, from photos or on site, followed by a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. Typical jobs include stale or musty smells from the ventilation and leaves and litter drawn into the unit, on filter sections, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Common problems we fix in Rookley Green
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.

- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Dust built up on fan impellers
Healthcare buildings such as Whitecroft Hospital, about 1.8 miles north-west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Rookley Green, yours matters too.
Before booking anyone
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered

- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What AHU cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- A system that is undersized for the building
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.
