How we handle AHU cleaning in Standen
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. If you have rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and units that have only ever had filter changes, we can put it right.
For a building in or near Standen, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Questions from Standen
Can you do AHU cleaning in Standen?
Yes, Standen is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day of the survey details.
Do you work overnight in Standen?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What AHU cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by AHU cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Building management system faults
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
- Supply and extract fans
- Filter sections
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
Managing agents and facilities teams in Standen
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
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 pictures, so records stay tidy.
Leave it or put it right?
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Standen is calmer for everyone.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Visits to a village like Standen are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
