Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Darent Valley Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 1.7 miles north-west of Green Street Green.

About our AHU cleaning in Green Street Green
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. If you have filters that are clogged or overdue and dust built up on fan impellers, we can put it right, from supply and extract fans, dampers and louvres and filter sections onwards.
Work in a small place like Green Street Green starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can survey both.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Green Street Green run smoothly.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

What the work involves, part by part
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.

What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
What happens if it’s left?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. The result is extra wear and a building that does not feel as comfortable, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. It’s simpler to plan the work at Green Street Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
