Air handling unit cleaning in Kentish Town, Greater London
Cleaning of air handling units, including filters, coils, drain trays, fans and internal surfaces in Kentish Town, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and photos. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones, and we clear up before we go. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Kentish Town.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email 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 typically come back within one working day.

How we handle AHU cleaning in Kentish Town
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Kentish Town and the rest of Greater London, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. The work covers internal panels, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are air handling units never cleaned inside and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris.
In London, plant rooms are often in basements or on roofs reached through occupied floors, so ventilation cleaning in Kentish Town is normally planned out of hours. Parking and loading are agreed with the building in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- A system that is undersized for the building
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
What the work involves, part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
Fans and fan sections
The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated in agreement with the site.
What AHU cleaning looks like in Kentish Town
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 55 schools, colleges and universities, about 52 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 34 hotels and guest houses serving food within about 1.5 miles of central Kentish Town. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. London plant rooms are often on roofs or in basements reached through occupied floors.

If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
Healthcare buildings such as St Pancras Hospital, about 0.8 miles south-east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Kentish Town, yours matters too.

How we price AHU cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Why deal with it now?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, especially where there’s been moisture. A busy site in Kentish Town builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Why us?
- A fixed price before any work starts
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Every job surveyed first
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

What else we do in Kentish Town
When to call us in Kentish Town
It matters for two reasons: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For the people using the building every day, that is the air they breathe for hours on end.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
Wherever a school like Holy Trinity and Saint Silas CofE Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Kentish Town
Do you work at weekends in Kentish Town?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Kentish Town needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
How do you handle parking and loading in Kentish Town?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. Filters are cleaned or changed as agreed in the quote.
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.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. Any faults we notice are recorded so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
