For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
AHU cleaning in Clapton, done properly
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, 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. We’re often asked to deal with fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, across heating and cooling coils, internal panels and drain trays.
For a building in or near Clapton, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common problems we fix in Clapton
An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and the finer material travels on.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Dust built up on fan impellers
In Clapton, supply and extract ducts are cleaned along with the units that serve them.

What the work involves, part by part
Drain trays
A tray that doesn’t drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. We note any we find in the report.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
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.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
Questions from Clapton
Can you come to Clapton after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Clapton can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Clapton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Clapton is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. Cleaning the unit and ducts together often makes sense, and we can quote for both.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
The clean includes noting faults, but repairs sit with your maintenance contractor, with pictures where it helps.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
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. The visit takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Clapton, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
