About our AHU cleaning in Hawthorn Hill
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. The work covers heating and cooling coils, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres, and people most often call us about dirty filters cutting the airflow and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned.
For a building in or near Hawthorn Hill, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Leave it or put it right?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. The result is extra wear and a building that does not feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Hawthorn Hill rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Hawthorn Hill
Can you work in Hawthorn Hill outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Hawthorn Hill needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you offer AHU cleaning in Hawthorn Hill?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hawthorn Hill is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we’ll arrange a survey.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, including anything we think needs attention.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
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 do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Hawthorn Hill.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Hawthorn Hill
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, a little more each month.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
For schools like Holyport College, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
Comparing quotes
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the figure could change on the day
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
