AHU cleaning in Felderland, done properly
Where a building in Felderland has had little more than filter changes, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. We are often asked to deal with dirty fans and fan housings and condensate trays that won’t empty, on supply and extract fans, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Good records are part of the job. 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.

Part by part
Fans and fan sections
The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated with your site team.
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and clean the filter housing.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Make sure condensate is draining away
Stick to the filter change schedule, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. The timing of a visit to Felderland is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

FAQs for Felderland
Will you come out to Felderland?
Yes. Felderland is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work overnight in Felderland?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Felderland does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, including anything we think needs attention.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Building management system faults
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work

Do you need AHU cleaning in Felderland?
It matters for two reasons: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For the people using the building every day, that’s the air they breathe for hours on end.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
School buildings such as Sandwich Technology School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether VAT is included
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
