Air handling unit cleaning in Clay Hill, Greater London
AHU cleaning across Clay Hill and nearby, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with photos.
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
Leave it or put it right?
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Why book with us
- Trading since 2009
- Every job surveyed first

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Clay Hill
If the units serving a building in Clay Hill have only had filter changes for years, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full clean deals with all of it. Typical jobs include dust built up on fan impellers and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake, across filter sections, drain trays and supply and extract fans.
London buildings tend to keep their plant on the roof or below ground, so work in Clay Hill is often done in the evening or at weekends. Loading and parking are planned with the building first.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process
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 first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Clay Hill is normally out of hours.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos 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 photos and issue the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Clay Hill buildings and their air
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 29 schools, colleges and universities and about 20 care, childcare and hospital premises with registered kitchens or food service within about 1.5 miles of central Clay Hill. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. St Michaels Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 0.7 miles south of Clay Hill. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. London plant rooms are often on roofs or in basements reached through occupied floors.
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Clay Hill, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like St Michaels Hospital (about 0.7 miles south). If you manage a school such as St John's CofE Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays. For workplaces around Gordon Hill station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends.

How we price AHU cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
Stick to the filter change schedule, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
How the job changes from site to site
Rooftop and plant room units
Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. We protect the area below before opening them.
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe with your site team.
Honest limits
AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Building management system faults
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Common questions in Clay Hill
Can ventilation in schools around Clay Hill be cleaned out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 29 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Clay Hill, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work overnight in Clay Hill?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you repair air handling units?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We will flag anything we notice during the clean.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
