Hampshire · Air handling unit cleaning
Air handling unit cleaning in Stoke, Hampshire
Our technicians work in Stoke on AHU cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
What happens if it’s left?
Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. Somewhere as small as Stoke, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
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 work begins.

AHU cleaning in Stoke, done properly
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. Typical jobs include condensate trays that won’t empty and air handling units with blocked filters, across internal panels, supply and extract fans and heating and cooling coils.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How we price AHU cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Stoke
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.

Stoke questions
Can ventilation in schools around Stoke be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Stoke. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Is Stoke within the area you cover?
Yes. Stoke is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, with new panels fitted where necessary.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
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. We plan the shutdown around that, including evenings or weekends.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Stoke
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Dust built up on fan impellers
If you manage a school such as St Mary Bourne Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What paperwork you get at the end
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Report water on the plant room floor
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.

- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.

- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
