AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Dyer's End
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. If you have air handling units never cleaned inside and odours coming through the supply air, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Dyer's End starts with agreeing access and timings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Make sure condensate is draining away
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.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.

Dyer's End: your questions answered
Can the work in Dyer's End be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Dyer's End keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can a school’s ventilation in Dyer's End be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Dyer's End, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. We’ll tell you after the survey whether the ducts need it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Dyer's End and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
What happens if it’s left?
Dirt left in an air handling unit doesn’t stay in the unit. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. It’s simpler to plan the work at Dyer's End now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
