AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Homerton
Our AHU cleans for sites in Homerton cover the parts that collect dirt: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. Common call-outs are for dirty fans and fan housings and dirty filters cutting the airflow, across heating and cooling coils, filter sections and dampers and louvres.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Homerton.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Homerton buildings and their air
Food Standards Agency records list about 24 schools, colleges and universities, about 41 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered as food businesses across Homerton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. For Homerton, the closest hospital is Homerton University Hospital, roughly within half a mile south. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital. Many London buildings have had their ductwork altered through several fit-outs, so an inspection comes first.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Homerton University Hospital (about under half a mile south) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. School buildings such as Rushmore Primary School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

Local landmarks in Homerton
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Newcome's School, The Plough Inn and Millfields Park. Homerton has its own railway station: Homerton station.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Homerton
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids, so they’re easy to forget about. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
If you manage offices or shops near Homerton station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether a survey comes first
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.
