About our AHU cleaning in Hurlingham
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, right in the path of the air going into the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. We are often asked to deal with dirty filters cutting the airflow and units that have only ever had filter changes, across drain trays, internal panels and supply and extract fans.
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 Hurlingham.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

AHU cleaning in Hurlingham: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 58 schools, colleges and universities, about 75 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 38 hotels and guest houses with registered kitchens or food service in and around Hurlingham, up to about a mile and a half out. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. The nearest hospital to Hurlingham is Western Hospital, about 1 mile north. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too. Ventilation cleaning in London buildings is usually planned for evenings or weekends.
School buildings such as Sulivan Primary School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed. Western Hospital, about 1 mile north, is the nearest hospital to Hurlingham, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

Part by part
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. We plan safe access as part of the survey, before we quote.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A system that is undersized for the building
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can survey both.
Don’t let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Hurlingham?
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and that is where slime and odours start.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
If you manage offices or shops near Imperial Wharf station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours.

Hurlingham: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Hurlingham?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Hurlingham keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you clean school ventilation in Hurlingham during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 58 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hurlingham. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Mechanical repairs to the unit are for your HVAC maintenance contractor. We’ll flag anything we notice during the clean.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Hurlingham is no exception.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Tenants, auditors and owners may want proof that the air handling plant is kept clean. Our certificate and photo report give you clear evidence, ready to show anyone who asks. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
