Common problems we fix in Lower Green
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, building up layer by layer.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Dust built up on fan impellers
For sites in and around Lower Green, the units and the ductwork are both looked at.

AHU cleaning in Lower Green, done properly
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. The work covers internal panels, filter sections and heating and cooling coils, and people most often call us about fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and dirty filters cutting the airflow.
For a building in or near Lower Green, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why act early in Lower Green
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Lower Green can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Why Lower Green businesses choose us
- Full insurance on every job
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Lower Green run smoothly.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
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.
