About our AHU cleaning in Paley Street
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins aren’t flattened. Typical jobs include stale or musty smells from the ventilation and drain trays holding standing water, across filter sections, dampers and louvres and internal panels.
Work in a small place like Paley Street starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a small place like Paley Street, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

No filter stops everything. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
Wherever a school like Holyport College has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Questions from Paley Street
Do you work overnight in Paley Street?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Paley Street needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Will you come out to Paley Street?
Yes, Paley Street is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, with any faults we noticed.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
The clean includes noting faults, but repairs sit with your maintenance contractor, with pictures where it helps.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings

Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Other services in Paley Street
What the work involves, part by part
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.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. Access is planned during the survey so the quote reflects it.
Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, especially where there’s been moisture. A planned visit to Paley Street is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
