Questions from Baker Street
Do you work at weekends in Baker Street?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Baker Street needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Baker Street?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Baker Street included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
Every section that collects dirt: filters, coils, tray, fan and panels. We confirm the scope after looking at the unit.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Baker Street
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. If you have plant that needs cleaning after a refit and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, we can help.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What affects the quote in Baker Street
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
For AHU cleaning in Baker Street, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. We note any we find in the report.
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe in agreement with the site.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Baker Street
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Baker Street
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, a little more each month.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
Hospitals such as Orsett Hospital (about less than half a mile east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Baker Street are no different.
Questions to ask before you book
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the figure could change on the day

How the visit 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 work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. In a small place like Baker Street, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos 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.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
