AHU cleaning in Sutton Scotney
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. The work covers dampers and louvres, heating and cooling coils and drain trays, and common reasons people get in touch are rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and leaves and litter drawn into the unit.
For a building in or near Sutton Scotney, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos 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 act early in Sutton Scotney
Dirt left in an air handling unit does not stay in the unit. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. If the system at a site near Sutton Scotney fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Sutton Scotney
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
- Internal panels

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Sutton Scotney: your questions answered
Can you come to Sutton Scotney after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Sutton Scotney does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Sutton Scotney within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Sutton Scotney included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can survey both on the same visit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Sutton Scotney before we set off.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- 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.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

How the job changes from site to site
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
Drain trays
A tray that does not drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Don’t let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
