AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in St Pancras
If the units serving a building in St Pancras have only had filter changes for years, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. Typical jobs include debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned, across internal panels, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres.
Across London, offices, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings rely on mechanical ventilation, much of it supplied through air handling units on roofs or in basements. In a building in St Pancras, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in St Pancras
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
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. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. If your building in St Pancras has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Book the next check in line with the report
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
Part by part
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
Internal casing and panels
We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we’re done before the unit is handed back.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.

St Pancras questions
How do you handle parking and loading in St Pancras?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Can ventilation in schools around St Pancras be cleaned out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 74 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of St Pancras. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Every section that collects dirt: filters, coils, tray, fan and panels. We confirm the scope after looking at the unit.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What happens if it’s left?
Tenants, auditors and owners may want proof that the air handling plant is kept clean. Our certificate and photo report give you clear evidence, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. A building in St Pancras may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
