AHU cleaning in Skinner's Hill
We clean air handling units for buildings in Skinner's Hill and across the Isle of Wight, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. If you have intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and units that have only ever had filter changes, we can put it right, from supply and extract fans, internal panels and dampers and louvres onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

When it’s something else
AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
- Dampers and louvres
- Drain trays
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
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.
What affects the quote in Skinner's Hill
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Need a price for AHU cleaning? Please call 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Make sure condensate is draining away
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Skinner's Hill
Do you work at weekends in Skinner's Hill?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Skinner's Hill keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover Skinner's Hill for AHU cleaning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Skinner's Hill is part of that. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day of the survey details.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. Cleaning the unit and ducts together often makes sense, and we can quote for both.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, 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.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes, both a certificate and a report with pictures. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Why act early in Skinner's Hill
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, particularly where damp has made it stick. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Skinner's Hill is calmer for everyone.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. Access is planned during the survey so the quote reflects it.
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and the housing around them is cleaned too.
