Common questions in Loughborough Junction
Can ventilation in schools around Loughborough Junction be cleaned out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Loughborough Junction, the Food Standards Agency lists about 86 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you come to Loughborough Junction after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What do you clean inside the unit?
We clean the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and internal casing. Filters are cleaned or changed as agreed in the quote.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Loughborough Junction
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Loughborough Junction and the rest of Greater London, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. The work covers dampers and louvres, filter sections and heating and cooling coils, and people most often call us about stale or musty smells from the ventilation and filters that are clogged or overdue.
In London, plant rooms are often in basements or on roofs reached through occupied floors, so work in Loughborough Junction is often done in the evening or at weekends. Parking and loading are agreed with the building in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Part by part
Drain trays
Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. We protect the area below before opening them.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Report water on the plant room floor
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we’ve finished. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to make sure it stays clear.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Loughborough Junction
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
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, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Building management system faults
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones, and we clear up before we go. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Loughborough Junction is typically out of hours.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
When to call us in Loughborough Junction
Filters that are not changed or cleaned on time clog up, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like St Giles' Hospital (about 1 mile north-east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether they recommend a next date
