AHU cleaning in Luxted
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. If you’re dealing with rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and air handling units never cleaned inside, we can help, from dampers and louvres, internal panels and filter sections onwards.
In London, plant rooms are often in basements or on roofs reached through occupied floors, so ventilation cleaning in Luxted is typically planned out of hours. Loading and parking are planned with the building first.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Luxted: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Luxted?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Luxted does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How do you handle parking and loading in Luxted?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, with any faults we noticed.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
That’s set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what AHU cleaning will not do:
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. In a London area like Luxted, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

What else we do in Luxted
How we price AHU cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What we’re called out for in Luxted
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
If you manage a school such as Cudham Church of England Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.
