AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Laddingford
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. If you have coils clogged with dust and debris and dirty filters cutting the airflow, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Laddingford, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
How we price AHU cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Filter sections
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Supply and extract fans
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What the work involves, part by part
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. We photograph them for the report.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Laddingford
Will you come out to Laddingford?
Yes, Laddingford is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you offer AHU cleaning in Laddingford?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Laddingford included. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day of the survey details.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
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 we’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
