Your questions about AHU cleaning in Abinger Common
Is AHU cleaning available in Abinger Common?
Yes, Abinger Common is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day of the survey details.
Can you come to Abinger Common after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Abinger Common can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can survey both on the same visit.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you repair air handling units?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We clean the unit and report anything we see that needs attention.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Abinger Common
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, right in the path of the air going into the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. The work covers drain trays, supply and extract fans and filter sections, and people most often call us about air handling units due a clean after building work and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris.
Somewhere as small as Abinger Common, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the AHU cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Visits to a village like Abinger Common are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Move anything stored near the system

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Make sure condensate is draining away
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can quote for both.
Don’t let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

Other services in Abinger Common
Different parts, different methods
Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. We plan safe access as part of the survey so the quote reflects it.
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. Their condition goes into the report with photos so you can decide on any repairs.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Abinger Common
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
