AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Paglesham
We clean air handling units for buildings in Paglesham and across Essex, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. If you’re dealing with plant that needs cleaning after a refit and drain trays holding standing water, 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Stick to the filter change plan
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to make sure it stays clear.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
Common questions in Paglesham
Is Paglesham within the area you cover?
Yes. Paglesham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is Paglesham in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes, we work in Paglesham and the places around it. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few details of the site.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. We cannot clean a running unit, so it’s switched off and made safe first. We agree the timing with your site team.
Do you repair air handling units?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with pictures where it helps.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Paglesham, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
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.

Leave it or put it right?
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. It’s simpler to plan the work at Paglesham now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Paglesham
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Building management system faults
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Drain trays
Different parts, different methods
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. Anything like that is recorded with photos.
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. The filter section is cleaned so new or cleaned filters sit properly.
