AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Falconwood
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 plant that needs cleaning after a refit and drain trays holding standing water, across drain trays, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. In Falconwood, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. 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.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Falconwood
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
Healthcare buildings such as Memorial Hospital, about 1.4 miles north-west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Falconwood, yours matters too.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the quote shows VAT
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Falconwood buildings and their air
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 32 schools, colleges and universities and about 49 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises with registered kitchens or food service within about 1.5 miles of central Falconwood. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. Getting kit to a London plant room normally means lifts, stairs and an agreed loading slot. About 1.4 miles north-west of Falconwood is Memorial Hospital, the nearest hospital. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.
If you manage shops or offices close to Welling station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning. Classrooms and halls at schools such as Bishop Ridley Church of England VA Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Internal casing and panels
We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we’re done before the unit is handed back.
