AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Brent Pelham
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. 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. Typical jobs include air handling units due a clean after building work and filters that are clogged or overdue, across drain trays, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans.
Somewhere as small as Brent Pelham, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Can you get to a site in Brent Pelham?

Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes, for the time we’re working on it. We can work evenings, overnight or at weekends to keep disruption down.
Do you work with multi-site operators?

How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Why act early in Brent Pelham
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, particularly where damp has made it stick. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Brent Pelham is calmer for everyone.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Brent Pelham
It matters for two reasons: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For the people using the building every day, that’s the air they breathe for hours on end.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Dust built up on fan impellers
An inspection comes first for any ventilation job around Brent Pelham, so the cleaning matches what’s there.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote shows VAT

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Brent Pelham.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, taking into account how dirty it was. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
