AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stoughton
We clean air handling units for buildings in Stoughton and across Surrey, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. We are often asked to deal with drain trays holding standing water and stale or musty smells from the ventilation, on drain trays, filter sections and heating and cooling coils.
Visits to a place like Stoughton are fitted around opening hours. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.
Internal casing and panels
Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. Anything like that is recorded with pictures.

Common questions in Stoughton
Can you clean school ventilation in Stoughton during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 26 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Stoughton. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Will you come out to Stoughton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stoughton included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. We will tell you after the survey whether the ducts need it.
How long does an AHU clean take?
As a guide, it takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. We plan the shutdown around that, including evenings or weekends.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.

- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Filter sections
- Dampers and louvres
- Drain trays
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. For a site near Stoughton, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Related advice
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Stoughton
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray does not fall properly, water stands in it, and slime and smells soon follow.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Dirty fans and fan housings
Hospitals such as Guildford Hospital (about 1.2 miles south-west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Stoughton are no different.
Before you book anyone
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a survey comes first
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
Stick to the filter change schedule, because good filters protect everything downstream. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
