AHU cleaning in Poulner
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. If you have coils clogged with dust and debris and dirty fans and fan housings, we can help, from drain trays, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans onwards.
In a place like Poulner, air handling units are often tucked into roof spaces or small plant rooms, out of sight and easy to overlook. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
What affects the quote in Poulner
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
FAQs for Poulner
Do you clean school ventilation in Poulner in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Poulner, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in Poulner?
Yes. Poulner is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after pictures. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. Filters are cleaned or changed as agreed in the quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What happens if it’s left?
Standing water in a drain tray does not clear itself. 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. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Poulner at a time that suits you.
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 play a part.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Your opening hours decide when we come to Poulner, not ours.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

When to call us in Poulner
Whatever surrounds a building in Poulner, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and some travels further into the unit.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like St Leonard's Hospital (about 4.4 miles south-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If they look at the system before pricing
