AHU Cleaning in Surbiton
Looking for AHU cleaning in Surbiton? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Surbiton
Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. If you are dealing with air handling units with blocked filters and dust-coated heating and cooling coils, we can put it right.
In London, plant rooms are often in basements or on roofs reached through occupied floors, so work in Surbiton is often done in the evening or at weekends. Parking and loading are agreed with the building in advance.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Surbiton questions
Do you work overnight in Surbiton?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Surbiton can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can ventilation in schools around Surbiton be cleaned out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Surbiton, the Food Standards Agency lists about 37 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What types of premises do you cover?
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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Every section that collects dirt: filters, coils, tray, fan and panels. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.
What happens on the day
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 anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Surbiton.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Faulty motors, drives or bearings
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Heating and cooling coils
- Filter sections
- Dampers and louvres
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Need a price for AHU cleaning? Please call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
What we’re called out for in Surbiton
Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. 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:
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
If you manage offices or shops near Surbiton station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours.
Questions to ask before booking
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How they set the interval to the next visit
How the job changes from site to site
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. We record their condition with pictures so repairs can be planned.
Filters
Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and the housing around them is cleaned too.
