How we handle AHU cleaning in Whiteley Bank
Where a building in Whiteley Bank has had little more than filter changes, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full clean deals with all of it. If you have intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and dust-coated heating and cooling coils, we can put it right, from filter sections, drain trays and supply and extract fans onwards.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and the housing around them is cleaned too.
Why deal with it now?
Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, ready to show anyone who asks. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Whiteley Bank rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Questions from Whiteley Bank
Can ventilation in schools around Whiteley Bank be cleaned out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Whiteley Bank, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Do you cover smaller places like Whiteley Bank?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Whiteley Bank is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you clean without disrupting the building?
Yes. The clean is planned around when the unit can be switched off. Healthcare and care settings are planned with staff.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
We clean the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and internal casing. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
The clean includes noting faults, but repairs sit with your maintenance contractor, with pictures where it helps.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Somewhere like Whiteley Bank, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
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 we start.

What we are called out for in Whiteley Bank
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
Wherever a school like Wroxall Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
What your quote should include
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the quote shows VAT

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
- Building management system faults
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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. That’s our job.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
