AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Cogges
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, right in the path of the air going into the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. The work covers filter sections, dampers and louvres and drain trays, and the jobs we see most are leaves and litter drawn into the unit and air handling units due a clean after building work.
Around a place like Cogges, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What happens if it’s left?
Tenants, auditors and owners may want proof that the air handling plant is kept clean. Our certificate and photo report give you clear evidence, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Cogges questions
Do you work in villages like Cogges?
Yes, Cogges is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can the work in Cogges be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Cogges needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. Any faults we notice are recorded so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes, for the time we are working on it. Out-of-hours work is available so the building isn’t left without ventilation when it’s busy.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes, both a certificate and a report with photos. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. A site near Cogges usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
