Greater London · Air handling unit cleaning
Battersea AHU cleaning
We cover Battersea for cleaning of air handling units, including filters, coils, drain trays, fans and internal surfaces. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Dirty fans and fan housings
Part by part
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
AHU cleaning in Battersea
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with pictures, so the report shows exactly what was done. Common call-outs are for leaves and litter drawn into the unit and dirty coils holding back the airflow, on supply and extract fans, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Battersea.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Battersea.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

What happens if it’s left?
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Battersea can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why us?
- Every visit written up, with photos
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- We diagnose before we treat

Ventilation in Battersea buildings
Food Standards Agency records list about 34 schools, colleges and universities, about 71 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 12 hotels and guest houses registered as food businesses in Battersea and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. The nearest hospital to Battersea is Battersea General Hospital, about 0.8 miles north. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital. Getting kit to a London plant room normally means lifts, stairs and an agreed loading slot.
If you run an office near Clapham Junction station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside. School buildings such as Christ Church CofE Primary School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
Battersea is about 3 miles south-east of Kensington, in Greater London. Every kind of commercial site in Battersea, AHU cleaning is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Our area takes in 764 places across Greater London, from busy centres to quieter spots.
Work in SW11, SW18 and SW4 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. If you need AHU cleaning at premises on York Road, Este Road and Home Road or a nearby road, we can help. Battersea sits on or near the A3207, so getting to you is simple for evening and night visits. We also cover Clapham Junction (1 mile north-west), Sands End (1 mile north-west), Chelsea Harbour (1 mile north-west), Wandsworth (1 mile south-west) and Clapham (1 mile east). We also work in nearby towns such as London (4 miles north-east), City of Westminster (4 miles north), Marylebone (4 miles north), Kensington (3 miles north-west), St Pancras (5 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (6 miles north-east).

Battersea questions
Does London parking affect a job in Battersea?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Battersea, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Can a school’s ventilation in Battersea be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Battersea, the Food Standards Agency lists about 34 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
What we are called out for in Battersea
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
Battersea General Hospital, about 0.8 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Battersea, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
