About our AHU cleaning in Rushmoor
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. We’re often asked to deal with plant that has been serviced but not cleaned and air handling units with blocked filters, across dampers and louvres, drain trays and supply and extract fans.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Rushmoor
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
What affects the quote in Rushmoor
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Why act early in Rushmoor
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. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Rushmoor rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Part by part
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. Their condition goes into the report with pictures so you can decide on any repairs.
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. Cleaning keeps it running as intended.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the AHU cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Somewhere like Rushmoor, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
