AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Langham
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. The work covers filter sections, dampers and louvres and internal panels, and common reasons people get in touch are coils clogged with dust and debris and leaves and litter drawn into the unit.
For a building in or near Langham, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Leave it or put it right?
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Langham can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. It’s simpler to plan the work at Langham now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why book with us
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Langham can be planned properly.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and 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.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
