How we handle AHU cleaning in Sutton at Hone
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. The work covers supply and extract fans, dampers and louvres and internal panels, and the jobs we see most are drain trays holding standing water and air handling units never cleaned inside.
For a building in or near Sutton at Hone, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Common problems we fix in Sutton at Hone
An overdue filter loads up with dirt, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Air handling units never cleaned inside
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
If you run an office near Farningham Road station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside.

What the work involves, part by part
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
Common questions in Sutton at Hone
Do you work at weekends in Sutton at Hone?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Sutton at Hone does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is AHU cleaning available in Sutton at Hone?
Yes, Sutton at Hone is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few details of the site.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Do you repair air handling units?
Mechanical repairs to the unit are for your HVAC maintenance contractor. We’ll flag anything we notice during the clean.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
The report shows each section of the unit before and after, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
