About our AHU cleaning in Great Canney
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. We look at the unit first, from pictures or a site visit, and give you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. If you’re dealing with units that have only ever had filter changes and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Great Canney starts with agreeing access and timings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

FAQs for Great Canney
Will you come out to Great Canney?
Yes. Great Canney is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to Great Canney after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How long will the unit be out of action?
Expect it to take anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Size, layout and how dirty it is decide the rest, and we will confirm the time when we quote.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you repair air handling units?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. Any faults we notice are recorded so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
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. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Great Canney buildings and their air

Different parts, different methods
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
Internal casing and panels
Access doors and panels are opened in turn and closed properly afterwards, and check every one is shut.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
What happens if it’s left?
Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. Our certificate and photo report give you clear evidence, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. A planned visit to Great Canney is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

What else we do in Great Canney
Do you need AHU cleaning in Great Canney?
Filters that are not changed or cleaned on time clog up, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
Ventilation work in and around Great Canney is risk-based: inspect, then clean what needs it.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Proof of insurance
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.
