Why deal with it now?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, particularly where damp has made it stick. If the system at a site near Pondwell fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

AHU cleaning in Pondwell
If the units serving a building in Pondwell have only had filter changes for years, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full clean deals with all of it. If you have air handling units due a clean after building work and dirty coils holding back the airflow, we can put it right, from supply and extract fans, internal panels and heating and cooling coils onwards.
Somewhere as small as Pondwell, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

How we price AHU cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Pondwell run smoothly.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Common questions in Pondwell
Is Pondwell within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Pondwell included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in Pondwell outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. The photo report shows each section before and after.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes, for the time we are working on it. Out-of-hours work is available so the building isn’t left without ventilation when it’s busy.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
