How we handle AHU cleaning in East Shalford
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, right in the path of the air going into the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. We’re often asked to deal with blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and dirty fans and fan housings, on drain trays, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

East Shalford questions
Can you work in East Shalford outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in East Shalford keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to East Shalford?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and East Shalford is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What happens if it’s left?
A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. That makes the next inspection of a building in East Shalford simpler. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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 will go through it with you.

East Shalford buildings and their air
There are about 18 schools, colleges and universities and about 9 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register in East Shalford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out.

The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. St. Luke’s Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 1.3 miles north of East Shalford.

When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Building management system faults
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
Other services in East Shalford
Common problems we fix in East Shalford
Filters that are not changed or cleaned on time clog up, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Dust built up on fan impellers
For workplaces around Shalford station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends.
