AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Leytonstone
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins aren’t flattened. Typical jobs include units that have only ever had filter changes and air handling units due a clean after building work, across drain trays, internal panels and filter sections.
London buildings tend to keep their plant on the roof or below ground, so work in Leytonstone is often done in the evening or at weekends. Parking and loading are agreed with the building in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.
Your questions about AHU cleaning in Leytonstone
Is parking a problem for work in Leytonstone?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Leytonstone makes the visit easier to plan. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
Do you clean school ventilation in Leytonstone in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 34 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Leytonstone. You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
When to call us in Leytonstone
Filters that are not changed or cleaned on time clog up, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
If you manage a school such as George Tomlinson Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
How it works
The visit has three parts: 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 a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Leytonstone is typically out of hours.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Get a fixed quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

Why deal with it now?
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Leytonstone can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. A busy site in Leytonstone builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- Every job surveyed first
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- In business since 2009
