Air handling unit cleaning in Winklebury, Hampshire
AHU cleaning across Winklebury and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with photos.
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Visits to a place like Winklebury are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- 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.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Winklebury
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and give you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. The work covers internal panels, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres, and the jobs we see most are fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs.
In a place like Winklebury, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, where they’re easy to forget. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Questions from Winklebury
Do you cover smaller places like Winklebury?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Winklebury is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Winklebury in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 23 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Winklebury. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
All the internal parts the air touches, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. Cleaning the unit and ducts together often makes sense, and we can survey both on the same visit.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Winklebury?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
Different parts, different methods
Drain trays
A tray that doesn’t drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe with your site team.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Why deal with it now?
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
