What affects the quote in Claygate Cross
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
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 we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Claygate Cross
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. Common call-outs are for coils clogged with dust and debris and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, on drain trays, filter sections and internal panels.
For a building in or near Claygate Cross, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Claygate Cross.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- 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
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Claygate Cross
Can you work in Claygate Cross outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Claygate Cross needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Will you repair the fan or motor?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report for your maintenance team to follow up.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Claygate Cross?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Building management system faults
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
- Heating and cooling coils
Different parts, different methods
Filters
Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and clean the filter housing.
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
Why act early in Claygate Cross
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, especially where there’s been moisture. Somewhere as small as Claygate Cross, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Why book with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- We are fully insured
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
Common problems we fix in Claygate Cross
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, a little more each month.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Borough Green Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
Before you book anyone
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether they’re fully insured
