AHU cleaning in Queen's Park
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 are not flattened. The work covers dampers and louvres, drain trays and internal panels, and people most often call us about debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and odours coming through the supply air.
Across London, offices, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings rely on mechanical ventilation, much of it supplied through air handling units on roofs or in basements. For a building in Queen's Park, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year, which is what TR19® Air cleaning deals with.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Queen's Park
Do you work overnight in Queen's Park?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Queen's Park needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can a school’s ventilation in Queen's Park be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Queen's Park, the Food Standards Agency lists about 89 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
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.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. We can’t clean a running unit, so it’s switched off and made safe first. We agree the timing with your site team.
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 cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
What the work involves, part by part
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. We note any we find in the report.
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. They’re photographed before and after for your records.

What AHU cleaning looks like in Queen's Park
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 89 schools, colleges and universities, about 51 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 33 hotels and B&Bs with registered kitchens or food service in Queen's Park 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. About 0.8 miles south of Queen's Park is Paddington General Hospital, the nearest hospital. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients. Ventilation cleaning in London buildings is typically planned for evenings or weekends.
If you manage shops or offices close to Queens Park (London) station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning. If you manage a school such as St Luke's CofE Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

When to call us in Queen's Park
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
Paddington General Hospital, about 0.8 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Queen's Park, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Why deal with it now?
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 sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why us?
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
