AHU cleaning in Street End, done properly
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. Common call-outs are for plant that needs cleaning after a refit and dirty fans and fan housings, across dampers and louvres, heating and cooling coils and drain trays.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Why deal with it now?
A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. It’s simpler to plan the work at Street End now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why Street End businesses choose us
- We diagnose before we treat
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Trading since 2009
- A fixed price before any work starts
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Street End.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Related advice
What we are called out for in Street End
Air handling units are typically tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings, so they’re easy to forget about. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Odours coming through the supply air
For schools like Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
Before booking anyone
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What paperwork you get at the end
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- A system that’s undersized for the building
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Filter sections
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
Different parts, different methods
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. We photograph them for the report.
