FAQs for Bilting
Can you work in Bilting outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Bilting keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is AHU cleaning available in Bilting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bilting is part of that. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day of the survey details.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Mechanical repairs to the unit are for your HVAC maintenance contractor. We will flag anything we notice during the clean.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes, both a certificate and a report with photos. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Bilting
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. If you’re dealing with condensate trays that won’t empty and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, we can help.
Work in a small place like Bilting starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

What we are called out for in Bilting
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Dust built up on fan impellers
Healthcare buildings such as William Harvey Hospital, about 4.8 miles south, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Bilting, yours matters too.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. The timing of a visit to Bilting is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Don’t let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
