How we handle AHU cleaning in Burlington Estate
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. If you have dirty filters cutting the airflow and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, we can help.
London buildings often depend on air handling units in plant rooms or on the roof to supply fresh air. For a building in Burlington Estate, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year, which is what TR19® Air cleaning deals with.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, 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.

Questions from Burlington Estate
Can a school’s ventilation in Burlington Estate be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 85 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Burlington Estate, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work at weekends in Burlington Estate?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Burlington Estate can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
There’s no single answer; it comes down to the building and the unit. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and we will suggest an interval after the first clean.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. We’ll tell you after the survey whether the ducts need it.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Burlington Estate?
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For the people using the building every day, that is the air they breathe for hours on end.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
St James Workhouse, about less than half a mile north-east, is the nearest hospital to Burlington Estate, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What insurance they carry
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Burlington Estate.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Burlington Estate buildings and their air
Food Standards Agency records list about 85 schools, colleges and universities, about 33 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 245 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered as food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Burlington Estate. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. In London, ventilation plant is often on the roof or below ground, so the work is normally done out of hours. For Burlington Estate, the closest hospital is St James Workhouse, roughly under half a mile north-east. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital.
Wherever a school like LITE Regal International School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. If you manage offices or shops near Bond Street station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours.

- How easy every part is to reach
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. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
