AHU cleaning in The Mint
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, right in the path of the air going into the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. We are often asked to deal with plant that has been serviced but not cleaned and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs, on heating and cooling coils, filter sections and supply and extract fans.
Somewhere as small as The Mint, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Ventilation in The Mint buildings
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 10 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) with registered kitchens or food service in The Mint and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. For The Mint, the closest hospital is Chase Community Hospital, roughly 3.9 miles north. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too. The Mint is about 46 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Liss Junior School are easiest to work in when pupils are away. Workplaces around Liss station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Different parts, different methods
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that won’t bend or flatten the fins.
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
Do you need AHU cleaning in The Mint?
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it doesn’t always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
Chase Community Hospital, about 3.9 miles north, is the nearest hospital to The Mint, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Questions from The Mint
Do you cover smaller places like The Mint?
Yes, The Mint is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you do AHU cleaning in The Mint?
Yes, The Mint is within the area we cover across London and the South East. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few photos of the system.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. Any faults we notice are recorded so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, and new panels can be fitted.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in The Mint before we set off.
- 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.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
