AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Pitshanger
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. Every job starts with a survey, from photos or on site, followed by a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. The work covers internal panels, heating and cooling coils and filter sections, and the jobs we see most are dirty coils holding back the airflow and plant that needs cleaning after a refit.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. In Pitshanger, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Why act early in Pitshanger
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. For a site in Pitshanger, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. In a London area like Pitshanger, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What else we do in Pitshanger
AHU cleaning in Pitshanger: local notes
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 52 schools, colleges and universities, about 92 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 8 hotels and guest houses serving food in Pitshanger and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. For Pitshanger, the closest hospital is Ealing Hospital, roughly 1.9 miles south-west. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too. Many London buildings have had their ductwork altered through several fit-outs, so an inspection comes first.
Healthcare buildings such as Ealing Hospital, about 1.9 miles south-west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Pitshanger, yours matters too. Workplaces around Castle Bar Park station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts. For schools like North Ealing Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Pitshanger
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can survey both.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
What the work involves, part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. We protect the area below before opening them.
Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
FAQs for Pitshanger
Can ventilation in schools around Pitshanger be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 52 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Pitshanger. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is parking a problem for work in Pitshanger?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Pitshanger makes the visit easier to plan. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
