AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Curteis' Corner
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. 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. The work covers dampers and louvres, internal panels and heating and cooling coils, and common reasons people get in touch are dust built up on fan impellers and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Why it’s worth doing now in Curteis' Corner
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. The result is extra wear and a building that doesn’t feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. In a small place like Curteis' Corner, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why Curteis' Corner businesses choose us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Fully insured
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
When it’s something else
AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Curteis' Corner
- Drain trays

- Supply and extract fans
- Filter sections
- Heating and cooling coils

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the AHU cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Curteis' Corner can be planned properly.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation

What else we do in Curteis' Corner
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, 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.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
