About our AHU cleaning in Soberton
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, with the unit switched off and made safe first. If you are dealing with drain trays holding standing water and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Soberton, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Different parts, different methods
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. Anything like that is recorded with photos.
Drain trays
Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can survey both.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Soberton, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Soberton
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Soberton questions
Do you work in villages like Soberton?
Yes, Soberton is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you cover Soberton for AHU cleaning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Soberton is part of that. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few pictures of the system.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Every section that collects dirt: filters, coils, tray, fan and panels. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with pictures where it helps.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
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.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
How long will the unit be out of action?
As a guide, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. The shutdown is planned to fit, out of hours if needed.
When to call us in Soberton
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Soberton, that’s air they breathe for hours at a time.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
School buildings such as Droxford Junior School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they recommend a next date
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
