AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Tangley
We clean air handling units for buildings in Tangley and across Hampshire, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. If you have fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, we can help, from heating and cooling coils, filter sections and dampers and louvres onwards.
Work in a small place like Tangley starts with agreeing access and timings.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Tangley: your questions answered
Can you work in Tangley outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Tangley needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Tangley?
Yes, Tangley is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and we will suggest an interval after the first clean.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
AHU cleaning in Tangley: local notes
About 4.3 miles south of Tangley is Andover War Memorial Hospital, the nearest hospital. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital.
In Tangley, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning. Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 4.3 miles south) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

Leave it or put it right?
If people in a building in Tangley complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. A planned visit to Tangley is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why book with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one, and we clear up before we go. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Tangley knowing what to expect.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line 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. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Stick to the filter change plan
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
Part by part
Drain trays
Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
