About our AHU cleaning in King's Walden
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. If you have blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and units that have only ever had filter changes, we can help, from internal panels, filter sections and supply and extract fans onwards.
For a building in or near King's Walden, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere like King's Walden, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in King's Walden
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
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, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- A system that is undersized for the building
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
Why deal with it now?
Standing water in a drain tray does not clear itself. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. A fault that closes a site in a village like King's Walden affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.

Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Regular inspection shows when it’s due, and the report recommends a next date.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
