Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Elmhurst can typically be finished without a second trip.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- 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.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.

About our AHU cleaning in Elmhurst
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. If you have condensate trays that won’t empty and dirty filters cutting the airflow, we can put it right.
Visits to a place like Elmhurst are fitted around opening hours. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
When we’ve closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to make sure it stays clear.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.
Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, particularly where damp has made it stick. When a site near Elmhurst shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What the work involves, part by part
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
Common questions in Elmhurst
Can you work in Elmhurst outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Elmhurst can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can ventilation in schools around Elmhurst be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 25 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Elmhurst. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
Do you work in Elmhurst?
Yes. Our technicians work in Elmhurst, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
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.
What affects the quote in Elmhurst
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
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’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
