How we price AHU cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
AHU cleaning in Little Bookham, done properly
We clean air handling units for buildings in Little Bookham and across Surrey, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. The work covers dampers and louvres, filter sections and internal panels, and common reasons people get in touch are drain trays holding standing water and leaves and litter drawn into the unit.
In a smaller place like Little Bookham, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
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, and we’re fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
Stick to the filter change schedule, because good filters protect everything downstream. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Little Bookham
Do you work overnight in Little Bookham?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Little Bookham can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can you get to a site in Little Bookham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Little Bookham is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you set up regular visits?
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.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can quote for both.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Little Bookham, so let us know how to reach it.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

When to call us in Little Bookham
Whatever surrounds a building in Little Bookham, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and some travels further into the unit.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
Healthcare buildings such as Headley Court, about 5.1 miles east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Little Bookham, yours matters too.
What your quote should include

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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Part by part
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. We note any we find in the report.
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
