Aircraft cleaning and valeting at Bournemouth - where aircraft come out of maintenance.

Exterior and interior work at Bournemouth Airport (EGHH / BOH) at Hurn. A major maintenance base, so most of what we do here is post-check and pre-delivery. From 4 hours’ notice.

Aircraft valeting timed to a maintenance release.

Bournemouth is one of the larger engineering bases in the South, and that shapes the work. Aircraft here are usually coming out of a check, a repaint or a storage period rather than turning between charter legs. The clean that matters is the one before the aircraft goes back to its owner.

01

Out of maintenance

Hangar time leaves dust, fingerprints, tape residue and scuffed cabin trim. A redelivery clean timed to the release lifts all of it, so the aircraft is handed back looking like the invoice suggests it should.

02

Before a pre-purchase or delivery

If an aircraft is being inspected, photographed or handed over, the finish is part of the first impression. We schedule around the survey or the delivery date rather than the other way round.

03

Seasonal hours, so check the window

Bournemouth runs 08:00-20:00 through the winter and 06:30-21:30 in summer. Our four hours’ notice has to fit inside whichever is in force, which is worth a thought on a shoulder-season booking.

04

Based in the South

For aircraft based at Bournemouth we run recurring cleans on a schedule rather than one-off callouts. We also cover Southampton, Bristol, Oxford and Cranfield.

The airport
Bournemouth is a maintenance base first and a passenger airport second.

Sitting at Hurn, north east of the town and close to Christchurch, Bournemouth has a long runway and a large amount of hangarage - which is why so much of the UK’s heavy maintenance, storage and paint work happens here rather than at a busier field. It began life as an RAF station and briefly served as London’s transatlantic airport in the mid-1940s, before Heathrow took that role. For us the practical consequence is simple: aircraft at Bournemouth are usually stationary for weeks, and the clean is scheduled against an engineering release date rather than a departure slot.

On a fast turnaround, the clean has to fit the window you have - not the other way round.

The work
Scaled to the airframe, delivered on your slot.

Exterior: from quick between-flight wash-downs to full rinseless washes, belly degreasing, brightwork polishing and sealant application.

Interior: from fast cabin resets to deep cleans with leather conditioning, carpet extraction and full galley and lavatory sanitisation. Every product is aviation-approved and matched to the surface it touches.

The promise
One standard across every size of aircraft.

A single pre-departure clean, or a managed schedule for a based aircraft - the result is the same: a trained crew, a checklist standard, and a completion report noting any damage with before-and-after photographs sent to your inbox.

    Bournemouth questions, answered.

    We work to 4 hours’ notice at Bournemouth. Most work here is planned against a maintenance release, so we would normally be booked days ahead rather than on the day.

    That is most of what we do here. A post-maintenance or redelivery clean deals with hangar dust, handling marks, tape residue and cabin trim, and we time it to the release so it does not get undone.

    Yes. Bournemouth runs roughly 08:00-20:00 in winter and 06:30-21:30 in summer. Tell us the date and we will work to whichever window applies.

    Yes - Southampton, Bristol, Oxford and Cranfield among others. If your aircraft is moving on after maintenance, we can pick it up at the next stop instead.

    It depends on the aircraft and how much the hangar time has left behind. A redelivery clean after a long check is a bigger job than a routine wash. Send the form above and we will scope it properly.

    Bournemouth: a few things worth knowing.

    A little context on the airport your aircraft is parked at.

    01

    At Hurn, in Dorset

    The airport sits at Hurn, between Bournemouth and Christchurch, with good road access and a large site by the standards of a regional field.

    02

    A major maintenance site

    Bournemouth carries substantial hangarage and engineering capacity, which is why aircraft come here for heavy checks, storage and paint rather than just to fly in and out.

    03

    A long runway

    The runway is long enough for large aircraft, which is part of what makes the maintenance operation viable and brings in types a regional airport would not otherwise see.

    04

    Seasonal opening hours

    Hours shift with the season - roughly 08:00-20:00 in winter, 06:30-21:30 in summer. Worth checking when planning a first or last movement of the day.

    05

    Once the transatlantic gateway

    The airport began as RAF Hurn and served briefly as London’s transatlantic terminal in the mid-1940s until Heathrow opened.

    06

    Southampton close by

    Southampton is the other main option on this stretch of coast and we cover it too, along with Bristol further west.
