AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broad Street
If the units serving a building in Broad Street have only had filter changes for years, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full clean deals with all of it. If you have dirty fans and fan housings and air handling units due a clean after building work, we can help.
Work in a small place like Broad Street starts with agreeing access and timings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Leave it or put it right?
A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. It also means the next inspection has less to find. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Why book with us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them, and we clear up before we go. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Broad Street run smoothly.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Broad Street
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and that is where slime and odours start.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
School buildings such as Icklesham Church of England Primary School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
What your quote should include
- When the next visit should be, and why
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What insurance they carry

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Broad Street
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.

Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It includes a recommended date for the next check.

The work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Bigger units can be phased, so call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email to talk it through.
