About our AHU cleaning in Mill Street
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with pictures, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. If you are dealing with air handling units never cleaned inside and dirty filters cutting the airflow, we can help, from internal panels, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils onwards.
Somewhere as small as Mill Street, ducted ventilation is usually 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. We protect the area below before opening them.
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. Their condition goes into the report with photos so repairs can be planned.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. In a small place like Mill Street, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Mill Street
Is Mill Street in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes, Mill Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with a few pictures of the system.
Do you work at weekends in Mill Street?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Mill Street doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
That’s set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted.
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.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Mill Street
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
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, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Why it’s worth doing now in Mill Street
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, especially where there’s been moisture. With notice, the visit to Mill Street can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
