Isle of Wight · Air handling unit cleaning
Air handling unit cleaning in Thorley, Isle of Wight
One call covers AHU cleaning in Thorley, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Thorley
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. Every job starts with a survey, from pictures or on site, followed by a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. The work covers drain trays, internal panels and heating and cooling coils, and common reasons people get in touch are air handling units never cleaned inside and air handling units with blocked filters.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
