Greater London · Air handling unit cleaning
Higham Hill AHU cleaning
Air handling unit cleaning for commercial sites in Higham Hill and across Greater London. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Air handling units with blocked filters
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Higham Hill is usually out of hours.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Higham Hill
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Higham Hill and the rest of Greater London, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. If you are dealing with units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, we can help, from filter sections, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres onwards.
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 Higham Hill.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

When to call us in Higham Hill
Whatever surrounds a building in Higham Hill, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and the finer material travels on.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
If you run an office near Northumberland Park (London) station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside.

What AHU cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Higham Hill questions
Does London parking affect a job in Higham Hill?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Working overnight, as we often do in London, usually makes it simpler.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Higham Hill in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 25 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Higham Hill. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What affects the quote in Higham Hill
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- How many systems or sites are involved
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, especially where there’s been moisture. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
