What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition 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.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
AHU cleaning in Shootash, done properly
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. The work covers heating and cooling coils, filter sections and dampers and louvres, and the jobs we see most are air handling units due a clean after building work and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake.
In a village or hamlet like Shootash, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Shootash questions
Do you clean school ventilation in Shootash in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Shootash, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work at weekends in Shootash?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Shootash can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How long does an AHU clean take?
As a guide, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. We plan the shutdown around that, including evenings or weekends.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
All the internal parts the air touches, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. The photo report shows each section before and after.
Do you cover Shootash?
Yes. We work in Shootash and across Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans
- Filter sections
Managing agents and facilities teams in Shootash
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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Shootash.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

When to call us in Shootash
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it doesn’t always include cleaning the inside. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
In Shootash, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the price is fixed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How VAT is shown on the quote
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
How the job changes from site to site
Filters
Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and clean the filter housing.
Drain trays
The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.
