About our AHU cleaning in Matchams
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. We look at the unit first, from pictures or a site visit, and give you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. The work covers filter sections, internal panels and heating and cooling coils, and common reasons people get in touch are leaves and litter drawn into the unit and air handling units with blocked filters.
Work in a small place like Matchams starts with agreeing access and timings.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Matchams.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

Why act early in Matchams
Standing water in a drain tray doesn’t clear itself. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. The filter section is cleaned so new or cleaned filters sit properly.
Fans and fan sections
Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.

Around Matchams, as anywhere, ventilation cleaning begins with an inspection. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Matchams, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like St Leonard's Hospital (about 1.7 miles west).

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
Stick to the filter change schedule, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Matchams questions
Can you work in Matchams outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Matchams doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover Matchams for AHU cleaning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Matchams is part of that. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can survey both on the same visit.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Regular inspection shows when it’s due, and we’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.
How long will the unit be out of action?
The work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Bigger units can be phased, so phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos to talk it through.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
All the internal parts the air touches, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
