Air handling unit cleaning in Stockbury, Kent
Professional AHU cleaning in and around Stockbury, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Stockbury, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before pictures 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.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stockbury
We clean air handling units for buildings in Stockbury and across Kent, working to TR19® Air, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. The work covers supply and extract fans, internal panels and dampers and louvres, and the jobs we see most are dirty fans and fan housings and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover.
In a village or hamlet like Stockbury, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What the work involves, part by part
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. Cleaning keeps it running as intended.

When to call us in Stockbury
Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, a little more each month.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
Ventilation work in and around Stockbury is risk-based: inspect, then clean what needs it.
What your quote should include
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether they’re fully insured
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
What happens if it’s left?
Stuffy rooms and stale smells in a building in Stockbury can sometimes be traced back to the AHU. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. A planned visit to Stockbury is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

FAQs for Stockbury
Can you work in Stockbury outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Stockbury does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you do AHU cleaning in Stockbury?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Stockbury included. Get in touch with the details and we’ll arrange a survey.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Stockbury?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
