About our AHU cleaning in Langley
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. Typical jobs include coils clogged with dust and debris and dirty fans and fan housings, across dampers and louvres, filter sections and drain trays.
For a building in or near Langley, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
The process
Your staff don’t 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. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Langley.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.

What the work involves, part by part
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that won’t bend or flatten the fins.
What affects the quote in Langley
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted

Common questions in Langley
Can you do AHU cleaning in Langley?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Langley included. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day of the survey details.
Can the work in Langley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Langley doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We’ll flag anything we notice during the clean.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes, both a certificate and a report with photos. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hertfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
