How we handle AHU cleaning in The Burroughs
Our AHU cleans for sites in The Burroughs cover the parts that collect dirt: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. If you’re dealing with plant that needs cleaning after a refit and dirty fans and fan housings, we can put it right, from filter sections, internal panels and heating and cooling coils onwards.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. In The Burroughs, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
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.

Questions from The Burroughs
Is parking a problem for work in The Burroughs?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Do you work at weekends in The Burroughs?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in The Burroughs needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in The Burroughs.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote

Advice
What AHU cleaning looks like in The Burroughs
Food Standards Agency data includes about 43 schools, colleges and universities, about 41 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 6 hotels and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of The Burroughs. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. About 1.9 miles south of The Burroughs is St Andrew's Hospital, the nearest hospital. 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 Andrew's Hospital (about 1.9 miles south) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. If you manage offices or shops near Hendon station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours.

Why deal with it now?
If people in a building in The Burroughs complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
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’ll get one fixed quote.

How we price AHU cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Filter sections
- Dampers and louvres
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Part by part
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.
Do you need AHU cleaning in The Burroughs?
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
Wherever a school like St Joseph's Catholic Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.
