AHU cleaning in Ham, done properly
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, 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. The work covers internal panels, dampers and louvres and filter sections, and the jobs we see most are dirty filters cutting the airflow and coils clogged with dust and debris.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Ham.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Ham buildings and their air
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 21 schools, colleges and universities and about 20 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) serving food in Ham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. London plant rooms are often on roofs or in basements reached through occupied floors. The nearest hospital to Ham is Teddington Memorial Hospital, about 1.5 miles south-west. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.
Healthcare buildings such as Teddington Memorial Hospital, about 1.5 miles south-west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Ham, yours matters too.

- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Ham: your questions answered
Can ventilation in schools around Ham be cleaned out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 21 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Ham. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Ham?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. We cannot clean a running unit, so it’s switched off and made safe first. We agree the timing with your site team.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
Mechanical repairs to the unit are for your HVAC maintenance contractor. We clean the unit and report anything we see that needs attention.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What else we do in Ham
How we price AHU cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
For AHU cleaning in Ham, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Ham?
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Ham, that’s air they breathe for hours at a time.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Drain trays holding standing water
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Meadlands Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
Before you book anyone
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- When the next visit should be, and why
What happens if it’s left?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Why us?
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Every job surveyed first
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ham
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. Cleaning keeps it running as intended.
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
