AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Roehampton
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. We are often asked to deal with blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and odours coming through the supply air, on internal panels, supply and extract fans and heating and cooling coils.
In London, plant rooms are often in basements or on roofs reached through occupied floors, so ventilation cleaning in Roehampton is normally planned out of hours. Parking and loading are agreed with the building in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

AHU cleaning in Roehampton: local notes
Food Standards Agency data includes about 21 schools, colleges and universities, about 42 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses across Roehampton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. Getting kit to a London plant room usually means lifts, stairs and an agreed loading slot. For Roehampton, the closest hospital is Queen Mary's Hospital, roughly within half a mile west. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.
For schools like Granard Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. Hospitals such as Queen Mary's Hospital (about within half a mile west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Roehampton are no different. If you manage offices or shops near Barnes station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Roehampton
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The times the site is available
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
No two sites are the same, 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.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Questions from Roehampton
What do you need to know about parking in Roehampton?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Can you work in Roehampton outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Roehampton needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
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.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
We clean the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and internal casing. Filters are cleaned or changed as agreed in the quote.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
Cleaning takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Bigger units can be phased, so ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to talk it through.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What happens if it’s left?
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Roehampton can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we have finished. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to confirm water is draining away.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.
Different parts, different methods
Drain trays
Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.
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.
How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a London area like Roehampton, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
