Stocks Green questions
Is Stocks Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stocks Green included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is Stocks Green in your area for AHU cleaning?
Yes, Stocks Green is covered. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few photos of the system.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
Expect it to take one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and we will confirm the time when we quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stocks Green
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. The work covers supply and extract fans, internal panels and filter sections, and the jobs we see most are air handling units never cleaned inside and leaves and litter drawn into the unit.
Somewhere as small as Stocks Green, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Why it’s worth doing now in Stocks Green
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Stocks Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Report water on the plant room floor
We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, taking into account how dirty it was. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Building management system faults
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

What staff can safely do
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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins.

A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Stocks Green run smoothly.
