AHU cleaning in Four Marks, done properly
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. Every job starts with a survey, from photos or on site, followed by a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. The work covers dampers and louvres, supply and extract fans and internal panels, and people most often call us about fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and stale or musty smells from the ventilation.
In a smaller place like Four Marks, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as 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 we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up 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. For a site near Four Marks, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we’ve finished. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to make sure it stays clear.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Four Marks
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What happens if it’s left?
Standing water in a drain tray doesn’t clear itself. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. Around Four Marks, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.

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.
