About our AHU cleaning in Romney Street
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Romney Street and the rest of Kent, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. Common call-outs are for rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and dust-coated heating and cooling coils, on internal panels, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans.
For a building in or near Romney Street, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Report musty smells from the vents right away
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Make sure condensate is draining away
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Romney Street?
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
For buildings in and around Romney Street, TR19® Air cleaning starts with an inspection.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the price is fixed
Why deal with it now?
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. A planned visit to Romney Street is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Romney Street: your questions answered
Can a school’s ventilation in Romney Street be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Romney Street, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Can the work in Romney Street be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Romney Street can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, with any faults we noticed.
How we price AHU cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Somewhere like Romney Street, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
