Common questions in Connaught Village
Can you work in Connaught Village outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Connaught Village needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Connaught Village in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 78 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Connaught Village. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
How long does an AHU clean take?
As a guide, it takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. The shutdown is planned to fit, including evenings or weekends.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
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 give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, 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 if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
About our AHU cleaning in Connaught Village
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, in the airstream that feeds the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. We are often asked to deal with plant that has been serviced but not cleaned and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs, across drain trays, filter sections and internal panels.
London buildings often depend on air handling units in plant rooms or on the roof to supply fresh air. For a building in Connaught Village, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Connaught Village is usually out of hours.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Why it’s worth doing now in Connaught Village
If people in a building in Connaught Village complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. In Connaught Village, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
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 staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
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. Leave those to us.
What AHU cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Building management system faults
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
Common problems we fix in Connaught Village
It matters for two reasons: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Connaught Village, that is air they breathe for hours at a time.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Fortius Clinic (about 0.6 miles east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Proof of insurance
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Make sure condensate is draining away
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.
What the work involves, part by part
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and the housing around them is cleaned too.

Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Many London buildings have had their ductwork altered through several fit-outs, so an inspection comes first. About 0.6 miles east of Connaught Village is Fortius Clinic, the nearest hospital.
