Temple: your questions answered
Does London parking affect a job in Temple?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Temple, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Can ventilation in schools around Temple be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Temple, the Food Standards Agency lists about 75 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. Cleaning the unit and ducts together often makes sense, and we can quote for both.
Can you clean the AHU out of hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and weekends, so offices, schools and shops can carry on.
Do you work in Temple?
Yes. We work in Temple and the rest of Greater London, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, with any faults we noticed.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
About our AHU cleaning in Temple
No two plant rooms are the same, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. Every job starts with a survey, from pictures or on site, followed by a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. If you have air handling units never cleaned inside and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays, we can put it right.
In London, plant rooms are often in basements or on roofs reached through occupied floors, so work in Temple is often done in the evening or at weekends. Loading and parking are planned with the building first.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the AHU cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Temple saves time on the night.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

How the job changes from site to site
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. We protect the area below before opening them.
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Temple
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Common problems we fix in Temple
Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids, so they’re easy to forget about. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
If you manage offices or shops near London Blackfriars station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What insurance they carry
- If they look at the system before pricing
Temple buildings and their air
There are about 75 schools, colleges and universities, about 50 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 185 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses on the FSA’s food hygiene register in and around Temple, up to about a mile and a half out. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. London plant rooms are often on roofs or in basements reached through occupied floors. St Philip's Hospital is the nearest hospital, about within half a mile north-west of Temple. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.
School buildings such as St Clement Danes CofE Primary School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed. St Philip's Hospital, about under half a mile north-west, is the nearest hospital to Temple, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
