About our AHU cleaning in Mortimer West End
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 send you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. We are often asked to deal with filters that are clogged or overdue and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs, across filter sections, supply and extract fans and heating and cooling coils.
For a building in or near Mortimer West End, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased, and we clear up before we go.

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Mortimer West End keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you offer emergency callouts?

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

What do you clean inside the unit?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. Filters are cleaned or changed as agreed in the quote.
Do you repair air handling units?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with pictures where it helps.
How we price AHU cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
Want a quote for AHU cleaning? Please call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
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.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Mortimer West End
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
Wherever a school like Silchester Church of England Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
