Why act early in Lower Cox Street
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Lower Cox Street is calmer for everyone.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lower Cox Street
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. If you have coils clogged with dust and debris and filters that are clogged or overdue, we can put it right.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Different parts, different methods
Drain trays
Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Lower Cox Street and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area

- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake

Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed
- Proof of insurance
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What records you will receive afterwards
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Common questions in Lower Cox Street
Can you come to Lower Cox Street after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Lower Cox Street does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover Lower Cox Street for AHU cleaning?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Lower Cox Street included. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few photos of the system.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can survey both.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
