Do you need AHU cleaning in Tapnage?
Air handling units are normally tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
If you manage a school such as The Henry Cort Community College, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the quote shows VAT
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Tapnage
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. If you’re dealing with air handling units with blocked filters and dirty fans and fan housings, we can put it right, from drain trays, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans onwards.
For a building in or near Tapnage, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Different parts, different methods
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. Anything like that is recorded with photos.
Rooftop and plant room units
Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.

Why deal with it now?
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, particularly where damp has made it stick. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

- A fixed price before any work starts

FAQs for Tapnage
Can you get to a site in Tapnage?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Tapnage included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is Tapnage in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes, we work in Tapnage and the places around it. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few photos of the system.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes, both a certificate and a report with pictures. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How long does an AHU clean take?
It takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Size, layout and how dirty it is decide the rest, and we’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Tapnage run smoothly.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
