AHU cleaning in Hammerpot, done properly
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, in the airstream that feeds the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. The work covers drain trays, internal panels and heating and cooling coils, and people most often call us about dust-coated heating and cooling coils and plant that needs cleaning after a refit.
For a building in or near Hammerpot, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why act early in Hammerpot
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt does not stay put. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Hammerpot is calmer for everyone.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. We plan safe access as part of the survey so the quote reflects it.
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
What AHU cleaning looks like in Hammerpot
Food Standards Agency records list about 6 schools, colleges and universities and about 4 care, childcare and hospital premises registered as food businesses in Hammerpot and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. For Hammerpot, the closest hospital is Zachary Merton Hospital, roughly 2.4 miles south. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital. At about 49 miles from central London, Hammerpot sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Zachary Merton Hospital (about 2.4 miles south) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. For schools like St Margaret's CofE Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Hammerpot questions
Can a school’s ventilation in Hammerpot be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Hammerpot, the Food Standards Agency lists about 6 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Hammerpot?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hammerpot included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Every section that collects dirt: filters, coils, tray, fan and panels. We confirm the scope after looking at the unit.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Expect it to take half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Size, layout and how dirty it is decide the rest, and the quote will give you a clear idea.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we have finished. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to make sure it stays clear.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. The timing of a visit to Hammerpot is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
