About our AHU cleaning in Chadwell Heath
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. If you have condensate trays that won’t empty and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, we can help, from heating and cooling coils, filter sections and internal panels onwards.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. In Chadwell Heath, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Questions from Chadwell Heath
Do you work at weekends in Chadwell Heath?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Chadwell Heath keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
How do you handle parking and loading in Chadwell Heath?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes, both a certificate and a report with photos. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes, for the time we are working on it. Out-of-hours work is available to keep disruption down.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We clean the unit and report anything we see that needs attention.

When to call us in Chadwell Heath
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Chadwell Heath, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like King George Hospital (about 1.4 miles west).
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Proof of insurance
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on in Chadwell Heath
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
Different parts, different methods
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. The filter section is cleaned so new or cleaned filters sit properly.
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. Anything like that is recorded with photos.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Chadwell Heath needs from us.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
