How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. The timing of a visit to Alverstone Garden Village is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

About our AHU cleaning in Alverstone Garden Village
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. The work covers drain trays, filter sections and dampers and louvres, and people most often call us about leaves and litter drawn into the unit and units that have only ever had filter changes.
Work in a small place like Alverstone Garden Village starts with agreeing access and timings.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How we price AHU cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes

- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit

Drain trays
A tray that doesn’t drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
