Common questions in Tendring Green
Can you come to Tendring Green after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Tendring Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Tendring Green?
Yes. Tendring Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and we will suggest an interval after the first clean.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with pictures where it helps.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How much does AHU cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
AHU cleaning in Tendring Green
Where a building in Tendring Green has had little more than filter changes, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full clean deals with all of it. We are often asked to deal with rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and drain trays holding standing water, on dampers and louvres, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans.
For a building in or near Tendring Green, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.
Duct Doctor has 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’re fully insured.

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.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Tendring Green
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For the people using the building every day, that’s the air they breathe for hours on end.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Dirty fans and fan housings
Wherever a school like Tendring Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
Before you book anyone
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a survey comes first
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. The timing of a visit to Tendring Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After photos are taken and the certificate issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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 is where we come in.

How the job changes from site to site

Older trays can corrode and start leaking. Their condition goes into the report with photos so you can decide on any repairs.
Internal casing and panels
Access doors and panels are opened in turn and closed properly afterwards before the unit is handed back.
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the quote in Tendring Green
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:

- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
