How we handle AHU cleaning in Sarisbury Green
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, right in the path of the air going into the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. If you have odours coming through the supply air and air handling units never cleaned inside, we can put it right, from filter sections, supply and extract fans and internal panels onwards.
In a place like Sarisbury Green, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, where they’re easy to forget. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

AHU cleaning around Sarisbury Green
There are about 9 schools, colleges and universities and about 18 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register in Sarisbury Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Coldeast is the nearest hospital, about 0.6 miles north-east of Sarisbury Green.

What we’re called out for in Sarisbury Green
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Drain trays holding standing water
School buildings such as Sarisbury Infant School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Sarisbury Green
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sarisbury Green
Tenants, auditors and owners may want proof that the air handling plant is kept clean. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes, while the clean is under way. Out-of-hours work is available so the building is not left without ventilation when it’s busy.

Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we cannot reach are noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted.

What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
Fans and fan sections
The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated in agreement with the site.
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. We photograph them for the report.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
Stick to the filter change schedule, because good filters protect everything downstream. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
What staff can safely do
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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
