AHU cleaning in Wickham
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. If you are dealing with debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and dust-coated heating and cooling coils, we can put it right, from heating and cooling coils, filter sections and dampers and louvres onwards.
Around a place like Wickham, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and 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.

What the work involves, part by part
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. We record their condition with photos so repairs can be planned.
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe with your site team.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Wickham: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Wickham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Wickham included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to Wickham after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, with any faults we noticed.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes, while the clean is under way. Out-of-hours work is available so the building is not left without ventilation when it’s busy.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Building management system faults
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Make sure condensate is draining away
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. 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.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Wickham
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray doesn’t fall properly, water stands in it, and that’s where slime and odours start.
What we are most often called out for:
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
School buildings such as Wickham Church of England Primary School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.
Before you book anyone
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
AHU cleaning in Wickham: local notes
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 4 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises serving food within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Wickham. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. Wickham’s nearest hospital, Knowle Hospital, is about 1.5 miles south-west. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital.
Hospitals such as Knowle Hospital (about 1.5 miles south-west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Wickham are no different.

What happens on the day
