About our AHU cleaning in Tinkers Cross
Where a building in Tinkers Cross has had little more than filter changes, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full clean deals with all of it. If you are dealing with air handling units never cleaned inside and dirty coils holding back the airflow, we can put it right.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
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.

Questions from Tinkers Cross
Do you cover smaller places like Tinkers Cross?
Yes, Tinkers Cross is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Tinkers Cross be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, and new panels can be fitted.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.

How the job changes from site to site
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and the housing around them is cleaned too.
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe with your site team.
Ventilation in Tinkers Cross buildings
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 3 schools, colleges and universities and about 7 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises serving food in and around Tinkers Cross, up to about a mile and a half out. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention.
Around Tinkers Cross, as anywhere, ventilation cleaning begins with an inspection. For schools like Fordingbridge Junior School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Why act early in Tinkers Cross
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, especially where there’s been moisture. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Report water on the plant room floor
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can survey both.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the AHU cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Visits to a village like Tinkers Cross are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Tinkers Cross
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
