How we price AHU cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

AHU cleaning in Horseport
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. We look at the unit first, from pictures or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. If you are dealing with air handling units due a clean after building work and drain trays holding standing water, we can put it right.
For a building in or near Horseport, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Horseport questions
Is Horseport within the area you cover?
Yes. Horseport is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can ventilation in schools around Horseport be cleaned out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Horseport. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
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, and that’s where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Horseport.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear loose items from the work area

Different parts, different methods
Drain trays
Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. We clear standing water, clean out slime and check the outlet is draining.
Heating and cooling coils
Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. They’re cleaned using methods that will not bend or flatten the fins.
