AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Surrey Canal
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. If you’re dealing with dirty coils holding back the airflow and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays, we can put it right.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in Surrey Canal.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What happens on the day
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. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Surrey Canal needs from us.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos 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.
Preparing for the visit

Managing agents and facilities teams in Surrey Canal
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Do you need AHU cleaning in Surrey Canal?
It matters for two reasons: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For the people using the building every day, that’s the air they breathe for hours on end.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
For workplaces around South Bermondsey station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends.
What to look for in a quote
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
What affects the quote in Surrey Canal
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Leave it or put it right?
If people in a building in Surrey Canal complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. A busy site in Surrey Canal builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Do you work overnight in Surrey Canal?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Surrey Canal needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Surrey Canal?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Surrey Canal makes the visit easier to plan. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What do you clean inside the unit?
The main parts are the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and inside of the casing. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes, while the clean is under way. Out-of-hours work is available so the building isn’t left without ventilation when it’s busy.

Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. We photograph them for the report.
