AHU cleaning in Layer-de-la-Haye
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. Typical jobs include blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and dirty coils holding back the airflow, on internal panels, filter sections and heating and cooling coils.
Somewhere as small as Layer-de-la-Haye, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Building management system faults
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Dampers and louvres
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
When we’ve closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to make sure it stays clear.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
What affects the quote in Layer-de-la-Haye
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
