AHU cleaning in Marylebone from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

AHU cleaning in Marylebone, done properly
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with photos, so the report shows exactly what was done. If you’re dealing with intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays, we can put it right.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Marylebone.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. 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.

Ventilation in Marylebone buildings
Food Standards Agency data includes about 80 schools, colleges and universities, about 33 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 267 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Marylebone, up to about a mile and a half out. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. Marylebone’s nearest hospital, Respiratory Clinical Trials, is about less than half a mile north. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital. Getting kit to a London plant room normally means lifts, stairs and an agreed loading slot.
For workplaces around Bond Street station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends. Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Respiratory Clinical Trials (about under half a mile north) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Marylebone is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- A system that’s undersized for the building
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
Why act early in Marylebone
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. The result is extra wear and a building that doesn’t feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. Planning ahead in Marylebone lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will talk you through it.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Marylebone
- One number for every site across the South East and London

- We’re fully insured

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can survey both.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
When to call us in Marylebone
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
School buildings such as St Vincent's Catholic Primary School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of insurance
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
Marylebone questions
Can the work in Marylebone be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Marylebone keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How do you handle parking and loading in Marylebone?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Marylebone makes the visit easier to plan. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. We recommend a next date in each report.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you quote from photos?
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.
