About our AHU cleaning in North Hyde
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 photos, so the report shows exactly what was done. If you have debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, we can help, from internal panels, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans onwards.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. In North Hyde, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them, and we clear up before we go. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in North Hyde.
- We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Leave it or put it right?
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. In North Hyde, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What the work involves, part by part
Drain trays
Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. We clear standing water, clean out slime and check the outlet is draining.
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.
