AHU cleaning in Shalcombe, done properly
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. If you have plant that has been serviced but not cleaned and coils clogged with dust and debris, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Shalcombe starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What we’re called out for in Shalcombe
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
Whether the building is in Shalcombe itself or nearby, filters, coils, drain trays and ducts are all part of the work.

Common questions in Shalcombe
Do you work at weekends in Shalcombe?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Shalcombe keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Is AHU cleaning available in Shalcombe?
Yes, Shalcombe is covered. You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us what needs doing.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. We will tell you after the survey whether the ducts need it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shalcombe
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Shalcombe can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Photo reports with every job

Managing agents and facilities teams in Shalcombe
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.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
Stick to the filter change schedule, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
What we do, step by step
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 first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. For a village or hamlet like Shalcombe, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Find the previous report, if there is one

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
