AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Sudbury Hill
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after photos in a report. The work covers dampers and louvres, drain trays and supply and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are filters that are clogged or overdue and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Sudbury Hill.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Sudbury Hill?
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
Workplaces around Sudbury & Harrow Road station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. In Sudbury Hill, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- 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.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What else we do in Sudbury Hill
Part by part
Drain trays
Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. We clear standing water, clean out slime and check the outlet is draining.
Filters
Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and the housing around them is cleaned too.
AHU cleaning in Sudbury Hill: local notes

Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. About 1 mile north-west of Sudbury Hill is Clementine Churchill Hospital, the nearest hospital.

London plant rooms are often on roofs or in basements reached through occupied floors.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Questions from Sudbury Hill
Do you work at weekends in Sudbury Hill?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Sudbury Hill doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
What do you need to know about parking in Sudbury Hill?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Sudbury Hill makes the visit easier to plan. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. Any faults we notice are recorded for your maintenance team to follow up.
Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?
Yes. We cannot clean a running unit, so it’s switched off and made safe first. We agree the timing with your site team.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can survey both.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What happens if it’s left?
Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. Our certificate and photo report give you clear evidence, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
