AHU cleaning in Hales Place, done properly
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, with the unit switched off and made safe first. We’re often asked to deal with air handling units due a clean after building work and dust built up on fan impellers, on dampers and louvres, filter sections and heating and cooling coils.
In a smaller place like Hales Place, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

The process
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. Everything the job in Hales Place needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Other services in Hales Place
Why it’s worth doing now in Hales Place
When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. It also means the next inspection has less to find. Around Hales Place, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
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 will go through it with you.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
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.
Don’t let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Hales Place
Is Hales Place within the area you cover?
Yes. Hales Place is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Hales Place?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Hales Place needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
What do you clean inside the unit?
The main parts are the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and inside of the casing. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.
Do you repair air handling units?
The clean includes noting faults, but repairs sit with your maintenance contractor, with photos where it helps.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
When something else is needed
AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A system that is undersized for the building
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
