Common questions in Temple Hill
Do you work overnight in Temple Hill?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Temple Hill keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Can a school’s ventilation in Temple Hill be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 15 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Temple Hill. You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. Cleaning the unit and ducts together often makes sense, and we can survey both on the same visit.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Cleaning takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Bigger units can be phased, so ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to talk it through.
Do you cover Temple Hill?
Yes. We work in Temple Hill and the rest of Kent, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How we handle AHU cleaning in Temple Hill
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with pictures, so the report shows exactly what was done. If you have units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and dirty coils holding back the airflow, we can help, from filter sections, drain trays and heating and cooling coils onwards.
Around a place like Temple Hill, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Common problems we fix in Temple Hill
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray does not fall properly, water stands in it, and slime and smells soon follow.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Dirty fans and fan housings
Hospitals such as West Hill Hospital (about 0.7 miles south-west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Temple Hill are no different.

What the work involves, part by part
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. We record their condition with photos so repairs can be planned.
Fans and fan sections
The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated with your site team.

What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Everything the job in Temple Hill needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Why deal with it now?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, particularly where damp has made it stick. When a site near Temple Hill shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Other services in Temple Hill
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
