Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
AHU cleaning in Stapleford Abbotts
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins aren’t flattened. The work covers drain trays, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres, and the jobs we see most are filters that are clogged or overdue and air handling units due a clean after building work.
Work in a small place like Stapleford Abbotts starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Stapleford Abbotts: your questions answered
Do you cover Stapleford Abbotts for AHU cleaning?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Stapleford Abbotts included. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few details of the site.
Can you get to a site in Stapleford Abbotts?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, 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.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.
Can you clean without disrupting the building?
Yes. The clean is planned around when the unit can be switched off. Healthcare and care settings are planned with staff.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Common problems we fix in Stapleford Abbotts
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Stapleford Abbotts, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Harold Wood Hospital (about 3.6 miles south-east).

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. The timing of a visit to Stapleford Abbotts is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

Different parts, different methods
Filters
Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. Access is planned during the survey so the quote reflects it.
