About our AHU cleaning in Brockley
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. Every job starts with a survey, from photos or on site, followed by a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. The work covers dampers and louvres, internal panels and heating and cooling coils, and the jobs we see most are dirty fans and fan housings and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake.
Across London, offices, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings rely on mechanical ventilation, much of it supplied through air handling units on roofs or in basements. For a building in Brockley, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year, which is what TR19® Air cleaning deals with.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common questions in Brockley
Do you work at weekends in Brockley?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Brockley keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can ventilation in schools around Brockley be cleaned out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 52 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Brockley. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after pictures. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Brockley?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What affects the quote in Brockley
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Brockley buildings and their air
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 52 schools, colleges and universities, about 106 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 7 hotels and B&Bs with registered kitchens or food service in Brockley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. Getting kit to a London plant room normally means lifts, stairs and an agreed loading slot. Brockley’s nearest hospital, University Hospital Lewisham, is about 0.7 miles east. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.
Workplaces around Crofton Park station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts. For schools like Beecroft Garden Primary, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Brockley, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like University Hospital Lewisham (about 0.7 miles east).

What a clean won’t put right

- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Brockley
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
What the work involves, part by part
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. We record their condition with photos so you can decide on any repairs.
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. For a job in Brockley, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
