AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ealing
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. 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. The work covers internal panels, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are condensate trays that won’t empty and dirty coils holding back the airflow.
London buildings tend to keep their plant on the roof or below ground, so work in Ealing is often done in the evening or at weekends. Loading and parking are planned with the building first.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. 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.

Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Ealing is no exception.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Ealing?
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For the people using the building every day, that is the air they breathe for hours on end.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
If you manage a school such as Ealing Independent College, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ealing
A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. It also means the next inspection has less to find. A building in Ealing may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Different parts, different methods
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
