AHU Cleaning in Folly Town
We cover Folly Town for cleaning of air handling units, including filters, coils, drain trays, fans and internal surfaces. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Air handling units with blocked filters
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Folly Town.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

How we handle AHU cleaning in Folly Town
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with pictures, so the report shows exactly what was done. The work covers heating and cooling coils, dampers and louvres and filter sections, and the jobs we see most are condensate trays that won’t empty and odours coming through the supply air.
Work in a small place like Folly Town starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
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.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Questions from Folly Town
Do you work at weekends in Folly Town?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Folly Town needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is AHU cleaning available in Folly Town?
Yes, Folly Town is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day of the survey details.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What AHU cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Why act early in Folly Town
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, particularly where damp has made it stick. If the system at a site near Folly Town fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Report water on the plant room floor
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
