How we handle AHU cleaning in Martin Mill
Our AHU cleans for sites in Martin Mill cover the parts that collect dirt: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after photos in a report. We’re often asked to deal with plant that needs cleaning after a refit and condensate trays that won’t empty, across supply and extract fans, heating and cooling coils and dampers and louvres.
In a village or hamlet like Martin Mill, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How the job changes from site to site
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. We protect the area below before opening them.
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
The process
We are 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 from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Martin Mill knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Martin Mill questions
Do you offer AHU cleaning in Martin Mill?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Martin Mill included. Get in touch with the details and we will arrange a survey.
Can the work in Martin Mill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Martin Mill can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can quote for both.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
Why deal with it now?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. The result is extra wear and a building that does not feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. It’s simpler to plan the work at Martin Mill now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
