Acton Green AHU cleaning
We cover Acton Green for AHU cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
Why act early in Acton Green
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt doesn’t stay put. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. It’s better booked as a planned job in Acton Green than handled as an emergency.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

AHU cleaning in Acton Green, done properly
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. Every job starts with a survey, from pictures or on site, followed by a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. Typical jobs include air handling units never cleaned inside and dust built up on fan impellers, on internal panels, drain trays and filter sections.
London buildings often depend on air handling units in plant rooms or on the roof to supply fresh air. In a building in Acton Green, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time, which is what TR19® Air cleaning deals with.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, and note any part we couldn’t get to. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Acton Green
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
