The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Your opening hours decide when we come to Blacklands, not ours.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Blacklands
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, in the airstream that feeds the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. The work covers internal panels, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans, and people most often call us about air handling units due a clean after building work and condensate trays that won’t empty.
Smaller buildings around Blacklands often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, out of sight and easy to overlook. Every unit, large or small, has filters, coils and a drain tray to keep clean.
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. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- A system that is undersized for the building

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Common problems we fix in Blacklands
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
For schools like Ark Blacklands Primary Academy, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

How we price AHU cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The size of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Why act early in Blacklands
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt does not stay put. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. A quieter site near Blacklands still needs its system looked after.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What you get with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Every job surveyed first
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Fully insured
