Bromley Cross AHU cleaning
Air handling unit cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Bromley Cross. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Bromley Cross knowing what to expect.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

About our AHU cleaning in Bromley Cross
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. Common call-outs are for dirty filters cutting the airflow and leaves and litter drawn into the unit, across supply and extract fans, drain trays and dampers and louvres.
Somewhere as small as Bromley Cross, ducted ventilation is usually 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. We record their condition with pictures so you can decide on any repairs.

How we price AHU cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Bromley Cross
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray doesn’t fall properly, water stands in it, and slime and smells soon follow.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
An inspection comes first for any ventilation job around Bromley Cross, so the cleaning matches what’s there.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they recommend a next date
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bromley Cross
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Why deal with it now?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, particularly where damp has made it stick. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why book with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Trading since 2009

Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
