AHU cleaning in Wells-in-the-Field
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, with the unit switched off and made safe first. Typical jobs include filters that are clogged or overdue and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake, across supply and extract fans, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Wells-in-the-Field, let us know and we will plan around it.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the work

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Make sure condensate is draining away
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
What AHU cleaning cannot fix
AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Internal panels

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.

What affects the quote in Wells-in-the-Field
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Wells-in-the-Field and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Wells-in-the-Field
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
Ventilation work in and around Wells-in-the-Field is risk-based: inspect, then clean what needs it.
