Ventilation in Stoke buildings
Food Standards Agency data includes about 3 schools, colleges and universities, about 4 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in Stoke and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. Havant War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 2.4 miles north of Stoke. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Havant War Memorial Hospital (about 2.4 miles north) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

AHU cleaning in Stoke, done properly
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Stoke and the rest of Hampshire, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. Typical jobs include intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and units that have only ever had filter changes, across filter sections, internal panels and dampers and louvres.
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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Why deal with it now?
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Stoke can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Stoke rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Why book with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London

- We diagnose before we treat
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Stoke knowing what to expect.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Stoke?
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Stoke, that’s air they breathe for hours at a time.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
For schools like The Hayling College, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- When the next visit should be, and why
Stoke: your questions answered
Can the work in Stoke be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Stoke does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Can ventilation in schools around Stoke be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Stoke, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after pictures. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report for your maintenance team to follow up.

What AHU cleaning can’t fix
AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Part by part
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. The filter section is cleaned so new or cleaned filters sit properly.
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe with your site team.
