AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Dean Street
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. If you have air handling units due a clean after building work and filters that are clogged or overdue, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Dean Street, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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.
Dean Street buildings and their air
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 21 schools, colleges and universities and about 33 care, childcare and hospital premises with registered kitchens or food service in and around Dean Street, up to about a mile and a half out. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. Dean Street’s nearest hospital, Oakwood Hospital, is about 1.4 miles north. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. We cover Dean Street, about 31 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
For workplaces around East Farleigh station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends. Wherever a school like East Farleigh Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

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 on a regular cycle.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Part by part
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. Cleaning keeps it running as intended.
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Dean Street.
- 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.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
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, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What happens if it’s left?
Standing water in a drain tray doesn’t clear itself. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. A fault that closes a site in a village like Dean Street affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

Common problems we fix in Dean Street
Air handling units are typically tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings, so they’re easy to forget about. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
Healthcare buildings such as Oakwood Hospital, about 1.4 miles north, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Dean Street, yours matters too.
Before you book anyone

- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
