Your questions about AHU cleaning in Foley Park
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Foley Park in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 23 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Foley Park. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you work in Foley Park outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Foley Park keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
It takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Size, layout and how dirty it is decide the rest, and we will confirm the time when we quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you repair air handling units?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We clean the unit and report anything we see that needs attention.
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.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

- A few general shots of the system
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Foley Park
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Dust built up on fan impellers
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like KIMS hospital (about 1.1 miles east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
Different parts, different methods
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
Stick to the filter change schedule, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
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, and that is where we come in.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A site near Foley Park usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures 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.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
