AHU cleaning in Palmers Green
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, in the airstream that feeds the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. We are often asked to deal with leaves and litter drawn into the unit and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, across internal panels, heating and cooling coils and dampers and louvres.
In London, plant rooms are often in basements or on roofs reached through occupied floors, so ventilation cleaning in Palmers Green is usually planned out of hours. Parking and loading are agreed with the building in advance.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why it’s worth doing now in Palmers Green
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, especially where there’s been moisture. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.

- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.

Advice
Palmers Green: your questions answered
Does London parking affect a job in Palmers Green?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Palmers Green, and about any building rules on loading. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
Can you work in Palmers Green outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Palmers Green can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- A system that’s undersized for the building
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

Part by part
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. We record their condition with pictures so you can decide on any repairs.
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.
