Skeete AHU cleaning

For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
About our AHU cleaning in Skeete
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. If you have condensate trays that won’t empty and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Skeete starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How we price AHU cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
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, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
When we’ve closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to make sure it stays clear.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.

Questions from Skeete
Can you work in Skeete outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Skeete can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Skeete in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Skeete, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Typically the clean takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. The shutdown is planned to fit, out of hours if needed.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, including anything we think needs attention.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Common problems we fix in Skeete
Whatever surrounds a building in Skeete, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and the finer material travels on.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Skeete, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Royal Victoria Hospital (about 5.6 miles south-east).
