AHU cleaning in Shottermill
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, in the airstream that feeds the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. The work covers heating and cooling coils, internal panels and drain trays, and the jobs we see most are dirty coils holding back the airflow and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris.
Visits to a place like Shottermill are fitted around opening hours. The method does not change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.

Questions from Shottermill
Will you come out to Shottermill?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Shottermill is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you clean school ventilation in Shottermill during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 6 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Shottermill. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- 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
When we’ve closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to make sure it stays clear.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
Different parts, different methods
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. Their condition goes into the report with pictures so repairs can be planned.
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Shottermill
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

- Building management system faults

What AHU cleaning looks like in Shottermill
There are about 6 schools, colleges and universities and about 11 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) on the FSA’s food hygiene register across Shottermill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. About 40 miles out from central London, Shottermill is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. For Shottermill, the closest hospital is Haslemere and District Hospital, roughly 1.3 miles east. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital.
Hospitals such as Haslemere and District Hospital (about 1.3 miles east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Shottermill are no different. Workplaces around Haslemere station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts. Classrooms and halls at schools such as Camelsdale Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

What affects the quote in Shottermill
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
