In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem 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 give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Magdalen Laver
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. 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 coils clogged with dust and debris and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, we can put it right, from internal panels, supply and extract fans and drain trays onwards.
Somewhere as small as Magdalen Laver, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Magdalen Laver and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.

FAQs for Magdalen Laver
Can you get to a site in Magdalen Laver?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you offer AHU cleaning in Magdalen Laver?
Yes, Magdalen Laver is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Get in touch with the details and we will arrange a survey.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
That is set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
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.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. We cannot clean a running unit, so it’s switched off and made safe first. The shutdown is planned with whoever runs the building.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
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.
Can you clean the AHU out of hours?
Yes. Evening, overnight and weekend work is all possible, so offices, schools and shops can carry on.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Magdalen Laver
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Part by part
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and clean the filter housing.
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
