About our AHU cleaning in Kent Street
No two plant rooms are the same, 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, so you know where you stand. Typical jobs include coils clogged with dust and debris and air handling units never cleaned inside, on drain trays, supply and extract fans and internal panels.
Work in a small place like Kent Street starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Leave it or put it right?
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt doesn’t stay put. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.

FAQs for Kent Street
Can you work in Kent Street outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Kent Street doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you come out to Kent Street?
Yes, Kent Street is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
The work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Large plant can be split over several shifts, so call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form to talk it through.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, and any sections we cannot reach are noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
What affects the quote in Kent Street
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Visits to a village like Kent Street are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Kent Street
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, building up layer by layer.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
Around Kent Street, as anywhere, ventilation cleaning begins with an inspection.
What your quote should include
