About our AHU cleaning in Five Oak Green
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Five Oak Green and the rest of Kent, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. The work covers supply and extract fans, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils, and the jobs we see most are air handling units due a clean after building work and dirty filters cutting the airflow.
Somewhere as small as Five Oak Green, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
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.
Different parts, different methods
Fans and fan sections
The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated with your site team.
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. We record their condition with photos so you can decide on any repairs.

How much does AHU cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
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 clean the ductwork as well?
Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. We agree the timing with your site team.

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Five Oak Green.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

Why it’s worth doing now in Five Oak Green
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, especially where there’s been moisture. In a small place like Five Oak Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- A fixed price before any work starts
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Five Oak Green
Whatever surrounds a building in Five Oak Green, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and the finer material travels on.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Coils clogged with dust and debris

Comparing quotes
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
How we price AHU cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
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 work begins.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
