AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in South Hayling
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. The work covers drain trays, heating and cooling coils and dampers and louvres, and common reasons people get in touch are units that have only ever had filter changes and air handling units due a clean after building work.
Visits to a place like South Hayling are fitted around opening hours. The method does not change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.
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.

South Hayling: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like South Hayling?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, South Hayling included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work overnight in South Hayling?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
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. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, including anything we think needs attention.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.

Drain trays
Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.

Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. We protect the area below before opening them.
What affects the quote in South Hayling
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

Signs you need AHU cleaning in South Hayling
It matters for two reasons: 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 South Hayling, that’s air they breathe for hours at a time.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Drain trays holding standing water
School buildings such as Mengham Junior School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
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 AHU cleaning can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

What else we do in South Hayling
Why it’s worth doing now in South Hayling
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. The result is extra wear and a building that doesn’t feel as comfortable, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
