Questions from South Hanningfield
Can you get to a site in South Hanningfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work at weekends in South Hanningfield?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in South Hanningfield does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
Every section that collects dirt: filters, coils, tray, fan and panels. We confirm the scope after looking at the unit.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in South Hanningfield
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. If you have air handling units with blocked filters and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs, we can put it right, from dampers and louvres, heating and cooling coils and filter sections onwards.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why deal with it now?
If people in a building in South Hanningfield complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near South Hanningfield rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

The process
Night work is normal for us. 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. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like South Hanningfield.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Part by part
Internal casing and panels

Fans and fan sections
The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated in agreement with the site.
Common problems we fix in South Hanningfield
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Dust built up on fan impellers
Around South Hanningfield, as anywhere, ventilation cleaning begins with an inspection.
Questions to ask before booking
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What insurance they carry
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
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.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
