How we handle AHU cleaning in Titchfield
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. The work covers filter sections, internal panels and drain trays, and common reasons people get in touch are air handling units with blocked filters and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years.
Work in a small place like Titchfield 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, and we’re fully insured.

What affects the quote in Titchfield
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form 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’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.
Drain trays
Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.
How the visit 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 the area is cleaned down before we leave. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Titchfield can be planned properly.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading

What else we do in Titchfield
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, taking into account how dirty it was. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.

When to call us in Titchfield
No filter stops everything. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, a little more each month.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
If you manage a school such as Titchfield Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
Before booking anyone

- Whether the figure could change on the day
Why act early in Titchfield
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, especially where there’s been moisture. A fault that closes a site in a village like Titchfield affects everyone who depends on it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
