AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hampton
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. We are often asked to deal with debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and drain trays holding standing water, across supply and extract fans, heating and cooling coils and drain trays.
Across London, offices, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings rely on mechanical ventilation, much of it supplied through air handling units on roofs or in basements. For a building in Hampton, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year, which is what TR19® Air cleaning deals with.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. In a London area like Hampton, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

How we price AHU cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hampton
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
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.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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.
AHU cleaning in Hampton: local notes
There are about 10 schools, colleges and universities and about 21 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) on the FSA’s food hygiene register in and around Hampton, up to about a mile and a half out. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. Ventilation cleaning in London buildings is typically planned for evenings or weekends. Hampton’s nearest hospital, Teddington Memorial Hospital, is about 1.5 miles east. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.
If you manage shops or offices close to Hampton station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Hampton, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Teddington Memorial Hospital (about 1.5 miles east). School buildings such as Hampton Infant School and Nursery are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

Can a school’s ventilation in Hampton be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 10 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Hampton, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.

What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
