AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stanmore
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. Typical jobs include units that have only ever had filter changes and condensate trays that won’t empty, across drain trays, internal panels and heating and cooling coils.
Smaller buildings around Stanmore often keep their ventilation units in a roof void or plant cupboard, where they’re easy to forget. Filters, coils and drain trays need attention whatever the size of the unit.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Common questions in Stanmore
Can you clean school ventilation in Stanmore during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 20 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Stanmore. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you come to Stanmore after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
That is set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How the visit works
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 job takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. In a place like Stanmore, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What affects the quote in Stanmore
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Stanmore
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
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 each one has its own record.
What we are called out for in Stanmore
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids, so they’re easy to forget about. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
Healthcare buildings such as Royal Hampshire County Hospital, about 0.7 miles north-east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Stanmore, yours matters too.
