How we price AHU cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
AHU cleaning in Kemptown, done properly
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. Typical jobs include dirty coils holding back the airflow and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, on heating and cooling coils, filter sections and internal panels.
In a place like Kemptown, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, out of sight and easy to overlook. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Why act early in Kemptown
Dirt left in an air handling unit doesn’t stay in the unit. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. Around Kemptown, a kitchen or building out of action is missed right away.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Why us?
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Every job surveyed first
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Each visit written up, with photos

Questions from Kemptown
Can ventilation in schools around Kemptown be cleaned out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 22 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Kemptown. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you come to Kemptown after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
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. We fix the price before work begins.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. The photo report shows each section before and after.
How long will the unit be out of action?
It takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and we’ll confirm the time when we quote.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, including anything we think needs attention.

Common problems we fix in Kemptown
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.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital, about less than half a mile north, is the nearest hospital to Kemptown, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Kemptown
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the AHU cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. For a place like Kemptown, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- 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.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

Part by part
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that won’t bend or flatten the fins.
