AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Oliver's Battery
Our AHU cleans for sites in Oliver's Battery cover the parts that collect dirt: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. If you have dirty fans and fan housings and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned, we can put it right.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we work on in Oliver's Battery
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Drain trays

- Supply and extract fans
What the work involves, part by part
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. We photograph them for the report.
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe in agreement with the site.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
Stick to the filter change schedule, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
Why act early in Oliver's Battery
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Oliver's Battery can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. If the system at a site near Oliver's Battery fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

What affects the quote in Oliver's Battery
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Oliver's Battery can be planned properly.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
What do you clean inside the unit?
We clean the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and internal casing. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report for your maintenance team to follow up.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
