Greater London · Air handling unit cleaning
AHU Cleaning in Teddington
Air handling unit cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Teddington. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
Why deal with it now?
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. For a site in Teddington, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

AHU cleaning in Teddington
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. Common call-outs are for blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and dust built up on fan impellers, across filter sections, heating and cooling coils and internal panels.
London buildings often depend on air handling units in plant rooms or on the roof to supply fresh air. For a building in Teddington, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What we’re called out for in Teddington
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Teddington, that’s air they breathe for hours at a time.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
Wherever a school like St Mary's and St Peter's Church of England Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
What your quote should include

AHU cleaning around Teddington
There are about 23 schools, colleges and universities and about 26 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register across Teddington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Ventilation cleaning in London buildings is usually planned for evenings or weekends. Teddington Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital, about within half a mile west of Teddington. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.
If you run an office near Teddington station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside. Healthcare buildings such as Teddington Memorial Hospital, about less than half a mile west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Teddington, yours matters too.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. For a job in Teddington, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Rooftop and plant room units
