AHU cleaning in Rookley, done properly
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. We look at the unit first, from pictures or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. If you have dust-coated heating and cooling coils and air handling units with blocked filters, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Rookley, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Common problems we fix in Rookley
Filters that aren’t changed or cleaned on time clog up, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Rookley, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Whitecroft Hospital (about 1.6 miles north-west).
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the figure could change on the day

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- 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
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
How we price AHU cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Why it’s worth doing now in Rookley
A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. It also means the next inspection has less to find. In a small place like Rookley, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What you get with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- Full insurance on every job
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Visits to a village like Rookley are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
