- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Yaverland can be planned properly.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

AHU cleaning in Yaverland, done properly
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with photos, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. The work covers heating and cooling coils, internal panels and supply and extract fans, and people most often call us about units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and dirty fans and fan housings.
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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What we are called out for in Yaverland
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Yaverland, that’s air they breathe for hours at a time.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
For schools like The Bay Church of England School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether a survey comes first
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Yaverland questions
Do you work overnight in Yaverland?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Yaverland keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Yaverland?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
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.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes, both a certificate and a report with pictures. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
AHU cleaning in Yaverland: local notes
There are about 7 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 24 hotels and guest houses on the FSA’s food hygiene register across Yaverland and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children is the nearest hospital, about 2.8 miles south-west of Yaverland. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (about 2.8 miles south-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

What happens if it’s left?

Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
How we price AHU cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
