What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Grange Mills.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
AHU cleaning in Grange Mills, done properly
Our AHU cleans for sites in Grange Mills 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 photos in a report. The work covers supply and extract fans, drain trays and internal panels, and people most often call us about odours coming through the supply air and leaves and litter drawn into the unit.
London buildings tend to keep their plant on the roof or below ground, so ventilation cleaning in Grange Mills is typically planned out of hours. Parking and loading are agreed with the building in advance.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Every section that collects dirt: filters, coils, tray, fan and panels. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.

What else we do in Grange Mills
What happens if it’s left?
A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. It also means the next inspection has less to find. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
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. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Take a look at what affects the cost or our accreditations.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Grange Mills?
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Air handling units with blocked filters
Healthcare buildings such as St James' Hospital, about 0.9 miles west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Grange Mills, yours matters too.
Before booking anyone
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
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.
Fans and fan sections
The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated in agreement with the site.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.

There are about 46 schools, colleges and universities, about 87 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 9 hotels and guest houses on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of central Grange Mills. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. About 0.9 miles west of Grange Mills is St James' Hospital, the nearest hospital. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital. Ventilation cleaning in London buildings is normally planned for evenings or weekends.
If you manage a school such as Henry Cavendish Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays. If you manage offices or shops near Balham station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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. Leave those to us.
