AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Boughton Corner
Our AHU cleans for sites in Boughton Corner cover the parts that collect dirt: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. The work covers internal panels, dampers and louvres and filter sections, and common reasons people get in touch are units that have only ever had filter changes and dust-coated heating and cooling coils.
Somewhere as small as Boughton Corner, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and 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’re called out for in Boughton Corner
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
If you manage offices or shops near Wye station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Boughton Corner knowing what to expect.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Boughton Corner
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
What the work involves, part by part
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Why act early in Boughton Corner
When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. It also means the next inspection has less to find. A fault that closes a site in a village like Boughton Corner affects everyone who depends on it.
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’ll explain each part.
Why us?
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Full insurance on every job
