AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Burlow
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. Common call-outs are for leaves and litter drawn into the unit and dust-coated heating and cooling coils, across internal panels, drain trays and heating and cooling coils.
Work in a small place like Burlow starts with agreeing access and timings.
We have 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 carry full insurance.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, based on what we found. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Visits to a village like Burlow are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Related advice
Do you need AHU cleaning in Burlow?
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray does not fall properly, water stands in it, and that is where slime and odours start.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
Healthcare buildings such as Hellingly Hospital Railway, about 2.8 miles south-east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Burlow, yours matters too.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Questions from Burlow
Can you come to Burlow after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Burlow keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover Burlow for AHU cleaning?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Burlow included. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details of the site.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Burlow?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. Filters are cleaned or changed as agreed in the quote.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Ventilation in Burlow buildings
Burlow is about 42 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Hellingly Hospital Railway is the nearest hospital, about 2.8 miles south-east of Burlow. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
In Burlow, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.

Why act early in Burlow
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Burlow can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

What the work involves, part by part
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. We photograph them for the report.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. Access is planned during the survey, before we quote.
