AHU cleaning in Send
No two plant rooms are the same, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. We look at the unit first, from pictures or a site visit, and give you a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. If you have air handling units never cleaned inside and drain trays holding standing water, we can help.
Around a place like Send, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

When to call us in Send
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Send, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Woking Community Hospital (about 2.1 miles north-west).
What your quote should include
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If they look at the system before pricing
Ventilation in Send buildings
The nearest hospital to Send is Woking Community Hospital, about 2.1 miles north-west. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes. Send is about 24 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Wherever a school like Send CofE Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Send is about 3 miles south-east of Woking, in Surrey. We provide AHU cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Send and the rest of Surrey. Send is one of 395 towns, villages and districts in Surrey we cover for AHU cleaning.
Every address in GU23 is within our area for AHU cleaning, from busy streets to back roads. You will find streets such as Sandy Lane, Farm Lane and Sandfields, all of which we cover for AHU cleaning.

Near you in Send
Typical jobs here are in premises near St John the Baptist Catholic Comprehensive School, White Rose Lane and The New Inn, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Clandon station, about 2.2 miles south-east of the centre.

Green spaces nearby include Boldermere Lake and Papercourt Marshes.
Why deal with it now?
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. In a smaller place like Send, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What you get with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- In business since 2009

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe in agreement with the site.
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. We photograph them for the report.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Send
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. For a site near Send, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Send questions
Can the work in Send be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Send keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you clean school ventilation in Send during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Send. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you cover Send?
Yes. We work in Send and across Surrey, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with the details in the report.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- A system that is undersized for the building
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
