Whiteley Village AHU cleaning
Cleaning of air handling units, including filters, coils, drain trays, fans and internal surfaces for Whiteley Village, with a survey first and a report with pictures at the end. Call for a fixed quote.
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Whiteley Village
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so the report shows exactly what was done. The work covers filter sections, drain trays and supply and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are units that have only ever had filter changes and drain trays holding standing water.
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.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can survey both.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.

Leave it or put it right?
A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. It also means the next inspection has less to find. With notice, the visit to Whiteley Village can be fitted around your bookings and events.

FAQs for Whiteley Village
Can a school’s ventilation in Whiteley Village be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Whiteley Village, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you work in Whiteley Village outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Whiteley Village can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- A system that’s undersized for the building
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Whiteley Village.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
