About our AHU cleaning in Leadingcross Green
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after photos in a report. If you have leaves and litter drawn into the unit and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs, we can put it right, from heating and cooling coils, filter sections and drain trays onwards.
For a building in or near Leadingcross Green, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Leadingcross Green knowing what to expect.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- A system that’s undersized for the building
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Leadingcross Green
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Leadingcross Green
Can you get to a site in Leadingcross Green?
Yes, Leadingcross Green is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Leadingcross Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Leadingcross Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes, while the clean is under way. We can work evenings, overnight or at weekends so the building is not left without ventilation when it’s busy.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Why deal with it now?
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Leadingcross Green is calmer for everyone.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Why us?
- We are fully insured
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Managing agents and facilities teams in Leadingcross Green
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
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.
