Part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. We protect the area below before opening them.
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and clean the filter housing.
Ventilation in Goddards Green buildings
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 6 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises with registered kitchens or food service within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Goddards Green. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. About 37 miles out from central London, Goddards Green is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. The nearest hospital to Goddards Green is The Dene Hospital, about within half a mile east. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.
Wherever a school like St Paul's Catholic College has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Goddards Green
Can ventilation in schools around Goddards Green be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Goddards Green. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Do you cover smaller places like Goddards Green?
Yes. Goddards Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Regular inspection shows when it’s due, and the report recommends a next date.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.
Can you clean the AHU out of hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and weekends, so offices, schools and shops can carry on.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Goddards Green
No filter stops everything. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Dirty fans and fan housings
Healthcare buildings such as The Dene Hospital, about within half a mile east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Goddards Green, yours matters too.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get at the end
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of insurance
- Whether they recommend a next date
How we price AHU cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, taking into account how dirty it was. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Goddards Green.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
