South Harting AHU cleaning
AHU cleaning across South Harting and nearby, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
Common problems we fix in South Harting
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and that’s where slime and odours start.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
Wherever a school like Harting CofE Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

AHU cleaning in South Harting, done properly
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. If you are dealing with filters that are clogged or overdue and air handling units never cleaned inside, we can put it right, from heating and cooling coils, drain trays and filter sections onwards.
Work in a small place like South Harting starts with agreeing access and timings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in South Harting
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Building management system faults
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a village or hamlet like South Harting, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
Stick to the filter change schedule, because good filters protect everything downstream. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.
