What affects the quote in Temple Bar
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
AHU cleaning in Temple Bar
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. The work covers filter sections, internal panels and drain trays, and the jobs we see most are air handling units never cleaned inside and dirty fans and fan housings.
London buildings often depend on air handling units in plant rooms or on the roof to supply fresh air. In a building in Temple Bar, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time, which is what TR19® Air cleaning deals with.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What we are called out for in Temple Bar
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.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Dirty fans and fan housings
If you manage shops or offices close to City Thameslink station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.

Temple Bar: your questions answered
Can parking be tricky for a job in Temple Bar?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
Do you work overnight in Temple Bar?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Temple Bar keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, including anything we think needs attention.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
As a guide, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. We plan the shutdown around that, out of hours if needed.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, particularly where damp has made it stick. A busy site in Temple Bar builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Why book with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Every job surveyed first
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- A written report with pictures after every visit

Ventilation in Temple Bar buildings
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 86 schools, colleges and universities, about 54 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 201 hotels and guest houses serving food in and around Temple Bar, up to about a mile and a half out. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. St Philip's Hospital is the nearest hospital, about less than half a mile west of Temple Bar. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too. In London, ventilation plant is often on the roof or below ground, so the work is normally done out of hours.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like St Philip's Hospital (about under half a mile west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. Wherever a school like St Clement Danes CofE Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Temple Bar is about 1 mile south of St Pancras, in Greater London.

What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. If your building in Temple Bar has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Part by part
Internal casing and panels
We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we are done before the unit is handed back.
Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. We record their condition with pictures so you can decide on any repairs.
