- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a village or hamlet like Grove Hill, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit

AHU cleaning in Grove Hill, done properly
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. We look at the unit first, from pictures or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. Common call-outs are for units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and dirty coils holding back the airflow, on filter sections, internal panels and heating and cooling coils.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Grove Hill
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
- The condition we find in the survey
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. 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.
Leave it or put it right?
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. A planned visit to Grove Hill is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

How the job changes from site to site
Drain trays
Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Grove Hill
Do you work overnight in Grove Hill?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Grove Hill does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Grove Hill?
Yes. Grove Hill 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.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. Any faults we notice are recorded for your maintenance team to follow up.
How long will the unit be out of action?
As a guide, it takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. The shutdown is planned to fit, out of hours if needed.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Grove Hill
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
