AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ovington
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. Typical jobs include dust-coated heating and cooling coils and condensate trays that won’t empty, across filter sections, internal panels and supply and extract fans.
Work in a small place like Ovington starts with agreeing access and timings.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Ovington: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Ovington?
Yes. Ovington is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you work in Ovington outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Ovington does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What accreditations do you have?
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.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, and new panels can be fitted.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the AHU cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Ovington and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- 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
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Why deal with it now?
If people in a building in Ovington complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. Planning a trip to Ovington ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What the work involves, part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. Anything like that is recorded with pictures.

When to call us in Ovington
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it doesn’t always include cleaning the inside. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Condensate trays that will not empty
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like St John's Rooms And Chapel (about 4.9 miles west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
