AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in St. Ebbes
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, right in the path of the air going into the building. Cleaning and clearing it is a key part of the job. The work covers heating and cooling coils, dampers and louvres and drain trays, and the jobs we see most are dirty filters cutting the airflow and odours coming through the supply air.
In a smaller place like St. Ebbes, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Tell us when your site near St. Ebbes is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

St. Ebbes questions
Can a school’s ventilation in St. Ebbes be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around St. Ebbes, the Food Standards Agency lists about 90 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work at weekends in St. Ebbes?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in St. Ebbes needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with the details in the report.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can survey both on the same visit.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in St. Ebbes
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
Workplaces around Oxford station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the price is fixed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we’ve finished. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to confirm water is draining away.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.
Why deal with it now?
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in St. Ebbes can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. When a site near St. Ebbes shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
