AHU cleaning in Silver Street
Where a building in Silver Street has had little more than filter changes, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full clean deals with all of it. If you have plant that needs cleaning after a refit and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake, we can put it right, from supply and extract fans, internal panels and filter sections onwards.
For a building in or near Silver Street, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
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.

Common problems we fix in Silver Street
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For the people using the building every day, that’s the air they breathe for hours on end.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
Around Silver Street, as anywhere, ventilation cleaning begins with an inspection.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Different parts, different methods
Internal casing and panels
Access doors and panels are opened in turn and closed properly afterwards before the unit is handed back.
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.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Silver Street run smoothly.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Silver Street
Will you come out to Silver Street?
Yes. Silver Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in Silver Street outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Silver Street doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes, while the clean is under way. Out-of-hours work is available so the building is not left without ventilation when it’s busy.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, with new panels fitted where necessary.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
- Drain trays
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
