What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere as small as Bromley, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Move anything stored near the system

How we handle AHU cleaning in Bromley
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. We are often asked to deal with air handling units due a clean after building work and leaves and litter drawn into the unit, across supply and extract fans, filter sections and heating and cooling coils.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Why deal with it now?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. With notice, the visit to Bromley can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What affects the quote in Bromley
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
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 go through it with you.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.

Can you fix a faulty AHU?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.

Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Bromley
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Bromley, that is air they breathe for hours at a time.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Herts and Essex Hospital (about 5.2 miles east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
