Greater London · Air handling unit cleaning
Air handling unit cleaning in Fulham, Greater London
Our technicians work in Fulham on cleaning of air handling units, including filters, coils, drain trays, fans and internal surfaces. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.

What AHU cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

AHU cleaning in Fulham, done properly
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. Common call-outs are for dust built up on fan impellers and condensate trays that won’t empty, on internal panels, supply and extract fans and filter sections.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Fulham.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Tenants, auditors and owners may want proof that the air handling plant is kept clean. Our certificate and photo report give you clear evidence, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. A building in Fulham may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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 explain each part.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can quote for both.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. In Fulham, as across London, we typically work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Fulham

Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What do you clean inside the unit?
The main parts are the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and inside of the casing. We confirm the scope after looking at the unit.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Typically the clean takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. We plan the shutdown around that, including evenings or weekends.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
