AHU Cleaning in Lord's Wood

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Lord's Wood
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. If you have dust built up on fan impellers and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, we can put it right.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, 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.

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean

What we’re called out for in Lord's Wood
Air handling units are typically tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings, so they’re easy to forget about. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Odours coming through the supply air
- Condensate trays that will not empty
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Lord's Wood, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Moorgreen Hospital (about 4.1 miles south).

- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
FAQs for Lord's Wood
Can you clean school ventilation in Lord's Wood during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Lord's Wood. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Lord's Wood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
That’s set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can you clean without disrupting the building?
Yes. The clean is planned around when the unit can be switched off. Healthcare and care settings are planned with staff.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What affects the quote in Lord's Wood
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Lord's Wood before we set off.
- 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.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
