For anyone managing more than one site, 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.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Durlock
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. Typical jobs include air handling units never cleaned inside and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, on supply and extract fans, drain trays and filter sections.
Work in a small place like Durlock starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
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.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Durlock.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Leave it or put it right?
A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. That makes the next inspection of a building in Durlock simpler. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

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.
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
How we price AHU cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
Durlock questions
Can you clean school ventilation in Durlock during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Durlock. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Is Durlock within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Durlock included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Durlock?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How long will the unit be out of action?
Cleaning takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Bigger units can be phased, and you can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to plan it.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and we’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
