AHU cleaning in West Heath
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: 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, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. The work covers heating and cooling coils, supply and extract fans and filter sections, and the jobs we see most are drain trays holding standing water and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake.
Somewhere as small as West Heath, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- A system that’s undersized for the building
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
AHU cleaning in West Heath: local notes
There are about 3 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of central West Heath. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. West Heath’s nearest hospital, Park Prewett Hospital, is about 3.2 miles south-east. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. We cover West Heath, about 47 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Wherever a school like The Priory Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Park Prewett Hospital (about 3.2 miles south-east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
West Heath is about 2 miles south of Tadley, in Hampshire.

What the work involves, part by part
Filters
Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and the housing around them is cleaned too.
Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.
Questions from West Heath
Is West Heath within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you clean school ventilation in West Heath in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of West Heath. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you work evenings or weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and weekends, so the building keeps running in the day.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near West Heath, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.

How we price AHU cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Report water on the plant room floor
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can survey both.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.
