AHU cleaning in Aldborough Hatch, 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 photos or on site, followed by a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. The work covers filter sections, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils, and common reasons people get in touch are intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and air handling units with blocked filters.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Aldborough Hatch.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What affects the quote in Aldborough Hatch
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Report water on the plant room floor
Stick to the filter change schedule, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.

How the job changes from site to site
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. We clean them with care so the fins are not damaged.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Tenants, auditors and owners may want proof that the air handling plant is kept clean. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. A building in Aldborough Hatch may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
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.

- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
