AHU cleaning in Bethnal Green
No two plant rooms are the same, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. Every job starts with a survey, from pictures or on site, followed by a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. We’re often asked to deal with dirty filters cutting the airflow and air handling units never cleaned inside, across drain trays, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. In Bethnal Green, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Bethnal Green and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
Need a price for AHU cleaning? Please ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details about the site. We will talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
What the work involves, part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
Fans and fan sections
The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated in agreement with the site.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a job in Bethnal Green, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

FAQs for Bethnal Green
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Bethnal Green in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Bethnal Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 89 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Bethnal Green can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
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 is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can quote for both.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes, while the clean is under way. We can work evenings, overnight or at weekends to keep disruption down.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Bethnal Green
An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and the finer material travels on.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Drain trays holding standing water
If you manage a school such as Lawdale Junior School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
