AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in West Meon
Our AHU cleans for sites in West Meon cover the parts that collect dirt: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after photos in a report. If you are dealing with debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and dirty fans and fan housings, we can put it right, from internal panels, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for West Meon
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in West Meon in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of West Meon. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Will you come out to West Meon?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and West Meon is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after photos. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. The photo report shows each section before and after.

What else we do in West Meon
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we have finished. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to make sure it stays clear.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

What the work involves, part by part
Drain trays
Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. We clear standing water, clean out slime and check the outlet is draining.
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. We note any we find in the report.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Somewhere as small as West Meon, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Get a fixed quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in West Meon
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.
