AHU cleaning in West Lavington, done properly
If the units serving a building in West Lavington have only had filter changes for years, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. The work covers internal panels, supply and extract fans and heating and cooling coils, and common reasons people get in touch are dirty fans and fan housings and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover.
In a village or hamlet like West Lavington, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

West Lavington: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like West Lavington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work overnight in West Lavington?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in West Lavington can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. We agree the timing with your site team.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, including anything we think needs attention.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Make sure condensate is draining away
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
Do you need AHU cleaning in West Lavington?
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
Healthcare buildings such as Midhurst Community Hospital, about 1 mile north, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near West Lavington, yours matters too.
Questions to ask before you book
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether they’re fully insured
What the work involves, part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near West Lavington, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us where we can park and unload
