What AHU cleaning looks like in Crown Wood
There are about 11 schools, colleges and universities and about 14 care, childcare and hospital premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register across Crown Wood and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. At about 29 miles from central London, Crown Wood sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. About 2.4 miles east of Crown Wood is Heatherwood Hospital, the nearest hospital. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.

What we’re called out for in Crown Wood
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For the people using the building every day, that’s the air they breathe for hours on end.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
For schools like Crown Wood Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. For a site near Crown Wood, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Related advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Leave it or put it right?
Standing water in a drain tray does not clear itself. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. When a site near Crown Wood shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Crown Wood
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
FAQs for Crown Wood
Do you clean school ventilation in Crown Wood in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Crown Wood, the Food Standards Agency lists about 11 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in Crown Wood?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Crown Wood included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
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.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
Stick to the filter change schedule, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Building management system faults
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
