Common questions in Ropley Dean
Do you work at weekends in Ropley Dean?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Ropley Dean doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Ropley Dean?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from intake to discharge, including coils, fan and drain trays. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
AHU cleaning in Ropley Dean
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Ropley Dean and the rest of Hampshire, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. The work covers heating and cooling coils, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and dust built up on fan impellers.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What else we do in Ropley Dean
How we price AHU cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Ropley Dean
Whatever surrounds a building in Ropley Dean, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and the finer material travels on.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Dust built up on fan impellers
For schools like Ropley Church of England Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
What to look for in a quote
- What records you will receive afterwards
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate

Why it’s worth doing now in Ropley Dean

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Somewhere as small as Ropley Dean, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

- Filter sections
- Dampers and louvres
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
