Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Clement Street
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Clement Street
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. Common call-outs are for plant that needs cleaning after a refit and dirty fans and fan housings, across heating and cooling coils, filter sections and internal panels.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Somewhere like Clement Street, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading

For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Clement Street
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
If you manage a school such as Sutton-At-Hone Church of England Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What hours they’ll be on site
- When the next visit should be, and why
Common questions in Clement Street
Do you work in villages like Clement Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you clean school ventilation in Clement Street during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 7 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Clement Street. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you repair air handling units?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report for your maintenance team to follow up.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. We agree the timing with your site team.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from intake to discharge, including coils, fan and drain trays. The photo report shows each section before and after.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Building management system faults
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Supply and extract fans
- Filter sections
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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. Leave those to us.
