About our AHU cleaning in Strand-on-the-Green
Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins aren’t flattened. Typical jobs include air handling units due a clean after building work and dirty filters cutting the airflow, on supply and extract fans, filter sections and heating and cooling coils.
London buildings tend to keep their plant on the roof or below ground, so ventilation cleaning in Strand-on-the-Green is typically planned out of hours. Loading and parking are planned with the building first.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What the work involves, part by part

Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. We protect the area below before opening them.
AHU cleaning in Strand-on-the-Green: local notes
Food Standards Agency data includes about 38 schools, colleges and universities, about 53 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 10 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Strand-on-the-Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Ventilation cleaning in London buildings is usually planned for evenings or weekends. About 1.5 miles south-east of Strand-on-the-Green is Barnes Hospital, the nearest hospital. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Barnes Hospital (about 1.5 miles south-east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. If you run an office near Chiswick station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside. Wherever a school like Strand-on-the-Green Infant and Nursery School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Strand-on-the-Green.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Managing agents and facilities teams in Strand-on-the-Green
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
What a clean will not put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:

If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price AHU cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How big the system is
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, 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.
Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
