AHU cleaning in Lanham Green, done properly
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. The work covers filter sections, dampers and louvres and drain trays, and common reasons people get in touch are rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and dirty fans and fan housings.
Somewhere as small as Lanham Green, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
Lanham Green questions
Do you clean school ventilation in Lanham Green in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Lanham Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you come to Lanham Green after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you repair air handling units?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report for your maintenance team to follow up.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can quote for both.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Lanham Green
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Lanham Green
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.

There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities and about 4 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of central Lanham Green.

Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. We photograph them for the report.
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. We record their condition with pictures so you can decide on any repairs.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
