How the job changes from site to site
Heating and cooling coils
Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. We clean them with care so the fins aren’t damaged.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. We plan safe access as part of the survey, before we quote.
AHU cleaning in Smallford, done properly
If the units serving a building in Smallford have only had filter changes for years, 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’re dealing with air handling units due a clean after building work and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake, we can help.
For a building in or near Smallford, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price AHU cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What AHU cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what AHU cleaning won’t do:
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Smallford
- Drain trays
- Filter sections

Ventilation in Smallford buildings
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities and about 12 care, childcare and hospital premises registered as food businesses across Smallford and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. Hill End Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 1.4 miles south-west of Smallford. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. We cover Smallford, about 19 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Wherever a school like Nicholas Breakspear Catholic School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Smallford: your questions answered
Can you come to Smallford after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Smallford needn’t be disturbed. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Smallford?
Yes. Smallford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Smallford, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

When to call us in Smallford
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Hill End Hospital (about 1.4 miles south-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether VAT is included
