Common problems we fix in Haultwick
No filter stops everything. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Dirty fans and fan housings
An inspection comes first for any ventilation job around Haultwick, so the cleaning matches what’s there.

How we handle AHU cleaning in Haultwick
An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. The work covers supply and extract fans, filter sections and drain trays, and people most often call us about air handling units due a clean after building work and leaves and litter drawn into the unit.
Work in a small place like Haultwick starts with agreeing access and timings.
We are 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.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Haultwick
Do you work at weekends in Haultwick?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Can you do AHU cleaning in Haultwick?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Haultwick included. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and let us know what needs doing.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after photos. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Haultwick?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. We agree the timing with your site team.
How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. The timing of a visit to Haultwick is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- 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.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Haultwick
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
