Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. Ventilation cleaning in London buildings is usually planned for evenings or weekends. For Anerley, the closest hospital is St Christopher's Hospice, roughly 0.7 miles north-east. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.

AHU cleaning in Anerley, done properly
Our AHU cleans for sites in Anerley cover the parts that collect dirt: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. Common call-outs are for blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned, on drain trays, supply and extract fans and internal panels.
London buildings often depend on air handling units in plant rooms or on the roof to supply fresh air. For a building in Anerley, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the AHU cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Anerley is no exception.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

What we are called out for in Anerley
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and that’s where slime and odours start.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
Classrooms and halls at schools such as James Dixon Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
Before booking anyone
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Building management system faults
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
