AHU cleaning in Locksgreen, done properly
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so the report shows exactly what was done. If you have blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and odours coming through the supply air, we can help.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, based on what we found. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
Locksgreen: your questions answered
Is Locksgreen in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Locksgreen is part of that. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you come to Locksgreen after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. Cleaning the unit and ducts together often makes sense, and we can quote for both.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Locksgreen and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Locksgreen
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
If you need AHU cleaning in Locksgreen, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
What the work involves, part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Locksgreen
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
For buildings in and around Locksgreen, TR19® Air cleaning starts with an inspection.
