AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ivy Hatch
Where a building in Ivy Hatch has had little more than filter changes, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. The work covers heating and cooling coils, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are dust built up on fan impellers and coils clogged with dust and debris.
For a building in or near Ivy Hatch, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Common problems we fix in Ivy Hatch
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and that’s where slime and odours start.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Dirty fans and fan housings
Wherever a school like St Lawrence Church of England Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach

Why act early in Ivy Hatch
Tenants, auditors and owners may want proof that the air handling plant is kept clean. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Ivy Hatch rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
Heating and cooling coils
Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Ivy Hatch
Can you clean school ventilation in Ivy Hatch during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Ivy Hatch. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you come to Ivy Hatch after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Ivy Hatch does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
There’s no single answer; it comes down to the building and the unit. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and the report recommends a next date.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Is Ivy Hatch in your area?
Yes. We cover Ivy Hatch and across Kent, within our South East and London area. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Somewhere as small as Ivy Hatch, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos 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.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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, which is where we come in.
