About our AHU cleaning in Goodmayes
Our AHU cleans for sites in Goodmayes cover the parts that collect dirt: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. If you have stale or musty smells from the ventilation and dirty coils holding back the airflow, we can help.
Across London, offices, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings rely on mechanical ventilation, much of it supplied through air handling units on roofs or in basements. In a building in Goodmayes, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them, and we clear up before we go. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Goodmayes.
- 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.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
How to prepare
- 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
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

How we price AHU cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted

AHU cleaning in Goodmayes: local notes
There are about 55 schools, colleges and universities and about 83 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Goodmayes. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. Ventilation cleaning in London buildings is normally planned for evenings or weekends. Goodmayes Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 0.9 miles north of Goodmayes. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.
For workplaces around Goodmayes station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends. Wherever a school like Goodmayes Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Building management system faults
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Internal panels
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
Leave it or put it right?
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. The result is extra wear and a building that doesn’t feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What else we do in Goodmayes
Goodmayes: your questions answered
How do you handle parking and loading in Goodmayes?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
Can ventilation in schools around Goodmayes be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 55 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Goodmayes. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If photos are not enough, we will survey first.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Cleaning takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Large plant can be split over several shifts, so call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to talk it through.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What we’re called out for in Goodmayes
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
Hospitals such as Goodmayes Hospital (about 0.9 miles north) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Goodmayes are no different.
