AHU cleaning in Guilton, done properly
No two plant rooms are the same, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. Every job starts with a survey, from photos or on site, followed by a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. If you have coils clogged with dust and debris and air handling units never cleaned inside, we can put it right.
For a building in or near Guilton, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Guilton: your questions answered
Can ventilation in schools around Guilton be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Guilton, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work at weekends in Guilton?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Guilton doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
All the internal parts the air touches, from intake to discharge, including coils, fan and drain trays. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
Do you cover Guilton?
Yes. Guilton is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How we price AHU cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Guilton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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 are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

What the work involves, part by part
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
Drain trays
Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
Stick to the filter change schedule, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Guilton
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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.
