Surrey · Air handling unit cleaning
Walton on the Hill AHU cleaning
Cleaning of air handling units, including filters, coils, drain trays, fans and internal surfaces for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Walton on the Hill. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
Different parts, different methods
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. Cleaning keeps it running as intended.
AHU cleaning in Walton on the Hill, done properly
If the units serving a building in Walton on the Hill have only had filter changes for years, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full clean deals with all of it. Typical jobs include leaves and litter drawn into the unit and odours coming through the supply air, across dampers and louvres, filter sections and supply and extract fans.
In a village or hamlet like Walton on the Hill, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Headley Court is the nearest hospital, about 1.6 miles north-west of Walton on the Hill.

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Somewhere as small as Walton on the Hill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Why act early in Walton on the Hill
Dirt left in an air handling unit doesn’t stay in the unit. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Walton on the Hill rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
