What we’re called out for in Tadley

Look out for these warning signs:
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
If you manage a school such as Bishopswood Junior School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

AHU cleaning in Tadley
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins aren’t flattened. If you’re dealing with blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, we can help, from dampers and louvres, drain trays and filter sections onwards.
For a school, surgery or office in Tadley, cleaning is planned around opening hours: evenings, weekends or school holidays.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Tadley questions
Do you work overnight in Tadley?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can a school’s ventilation in Tadley be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Tadley. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes, both a certificate and a report with photos. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What do you clean inside the unit?
All the internal parts the air touches, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. The photo report shows each section before and after.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Is Tadley in your area?
Yes. We work in Tadley and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts, and we clear up before we go. In a town like Tadley, we normally work after closing or on a quiet day, so the site opens again on time.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- 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
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What AHU cleaning looks like in Tadley
Food Standards Agency data includes about 4 schools, colleges and universities and about 10 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises in Tadley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. We cover Tadley, about 46 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East.

What the work involves, part by part
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. Their condition goes into the report with photos so you can decide on any repairs.
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.
Why deal with it now?
If people in a building in Tadley complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. Catching it early in Tadley means you choose the day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Tadley
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
