Hampshire · Air handling unit cleaning
Air handling unit cleaning in West Green, Hampshire
We cover West Green for cleaning of air handling units, including filters, coils, drain trays, fans and internal surfaces. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in West Green
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins aren’t flattened. The work covers drain trays, supply and extract fans and filter sections, and common reasons people get in touch are condensate trays that won’t empty and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Book the next check in line with the report
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
West Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like West Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, West Green included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you work in West Green outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in West Green keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
The main parts are the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and inside of the casing. We confirm the scope after looking at the unit.
How long will the unit be out of action?
Cleaning takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Bigger units can be phased, so ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to talk it through.
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 for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Managing agents and facilities teams in West Green
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Different parts, different methods
Rooftop and plant room units
Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. We protect the area below before opening them.
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Visits to a village like West Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What affects the quote in West Green
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate

What happens if it’s left?
Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. Our certificate and photo report give you clear evidence, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. Somewhere as small as West Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
