About our AHU cleaning in Flaunden
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, in the airstream that feeds the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. If you are dealing with intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, we can put it right, from supply and extract fans, internal panels and heating and cooling coils onwards.
Work in a small place like Flaunden starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What the work involves, part by part
Drain trays
Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Flaunden
Is Flaunden in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Flaunden is part of that. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details of the site.
Do you work overnight in Flaunden?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Flaunden doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
There’s no single answer; it comes down to the building and the unit. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and we will suggest an interval after the first clean.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Can you quote from photos?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with the details in the report.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can survey both on the same visit.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Flaunden
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Common problems we fix in Flaunden
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 is the air they breathe for hours on end.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
Classrooms and halls at schools such as St Clement Danes School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What insurance they carry
- When the next visit should be, and why
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the AHU cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Flaunden can be planned properly.
- 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.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What AHU cleaning can’t fix
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself

Why deal with it now?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. It’s simpler to plan the work at Flaunden now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
