AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hunny Hill

Where a building in Hunny Hill has had little more than filter changes, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full clean deals with all of it. The work covers drain trays, internal panels and supply and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are air handling units never cleaned inside and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays.

Visits to a place like Hunny Hill are fitted around opening hours. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What staff can safely do

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Hunny Hill

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:

  • How big the system is
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • The number of sites or systems

Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Helping us quote

To help us quote quickly, please include:

  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hunny Hill

Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt does not stay put. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Why choose Duct Doctor in Hunny Hill

  • We diagnose before we treat
  • Every visit written up, with photos
  • Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
  • In business since 2009

How the visit works

Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. A site near Hunny Hill typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.

  1. First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
  2. We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
  3. We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
  4. Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
  5. We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Related advice

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Hunny Hill

Do you clean school ventilation in Hunny Hill in the holidays?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 18 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Hunny Hill. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.

Do you work in villages like Hunny Hill?

Yes. Hunny Hill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.

Do you repair air handling units?

We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with the details in the report.

Do you clean the ductwork as well?

Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can survey both on the same visit.

When should our AHU next be cleaned?

It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and we will suggest an interval after the first clean.

When it’s something else

Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:

  • A system that’s undersized for the building
  • Building management system faults
  • Leaking heating or cooling coils

If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Where we work

  • Drain trays
  • Dampers and louvres
  • Internal panels
  • Heating and cooling coils
  • Filter sections
  • Supply and extract fans

Between visits

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
  • Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
  • Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
  • Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records

When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to confirm water is draining away.

Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
