AHU cleaning in Cray's Pond
Our AHU cleans for sites in Cray's Pond cover the parts that collect dirt: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. The work covers internal panels, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans, and people most often call us about dirty filters cutting the airflow and coils clogged with dust and debris.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Cray's Pond run smoothly.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Cray's Pond
Do you work in villages like Cray's Pond?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Cray's Pond included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do AHU cleaning in Cray's Pond?
Yes, we work in Cray's Pond and the places around it. Get in touch with the details and we will arrange a survey.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
The main parts are the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and inside of the casing. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Can you clean without disrupting the building?
Yes. Evening, overnight and weekend work is all possible, so offices, schools and shops can carry on.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What the work involves, part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Many AHUs sit on roofs or in plant rooms with limited access. Access is planned during the survey, before we quote.
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
Ventilation in Cray's Pond buildings
Food Standards Agency data includes about 3 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) in and around Cray's Pond, up to about a mile and a half out. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. Battle Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 5.7 miles south-east of Cray's Pond. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital. Cray's Pond is about 43 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Battle Hospital (about 5.7 miles south-east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

What else we do in Cray's Pond
Common problems we fix in Cray's Pond
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
For schools like The Oratory Preparatory School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
Before booking anyone
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, taking into account how dirty it was. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
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 is our job.
