Notting Hill buildings and their air
There are about 97 schools, colleges and universities, about 53 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 146 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses on the FSA’s food hygiene register in Notting Hill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. Paddington General Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 1 mile north of Notting Hill. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. In London, ventilation plant is often on the roof or below ground, so the work is usually done out of hours.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Paddington General Hospital (about 1 mile north) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. For workplaces around Shepherds Bush station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends.

AHU cleaning in Notting Hill
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so the report shows exactly what was done. Typical jobs include drain trays holding standing water and dirty filters cutting the airflow, across drain trays, supply and extract fans and filter sections.
London buildings often depend on air handling units in plant rooms or on the roof to supply fresh air. For a building in Notting Hill, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, 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.

What else we do in Notting Hill
What we are called out for in Notting Hill
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
Wherever a school like St Clement and St James CofE Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- If they look at the system before pricing
Questions from Notting Hill
Does London parking affect a job in Notting Hill?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Can the work in Notting Hill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Notting Hill keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
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. Large plant can be split over several shifts, so phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to talk it through.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Different parts, different methods
Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. We plan safe access as part of the survey so the quote reflects it.
Internal casing and panels
Access doors and panels are opened in turn and closed properly afterwards, and check every one is shut.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Notting Hill.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, particularly where damp has made it stick. It’s better booked as a planned job in Notting Hill than handled as an emergency.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Fully insured
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Each visit written up, with pictures
See our cost guide or our accreditations.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
