- Odours coming through the supply air
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Somewhere like Upper Clatford, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
AHU cleaning in Upper Clatford, done properly
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Upper Clatford and the rest of Hampshire, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. Common call-outs are for dirty filters cutting the airflow and drain trays holding standing water, on heating and cooling coils, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Upper Clatford buildings and their air
Food Standards Agency data includes about 8 schools, colleges and universities, about 11 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 4 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Upper Clatford. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. The nearest hospital to Upper Clatford is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 1.6 miles north. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital.
Hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 1.6 miles north) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Upper Clatford are no different. Classrooms and halls at schools such as Balksbury Junior School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Why deal with it now?
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, particularly where damp has made it stick. Somewhere as small as Upper Clatford, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Is there a report after cleaning?

What do you do to protect the area?

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.
