About our AHU cleaning in Thorley Street
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so the report shows exactly what was done. The work covers heating and cooling coils, drain trays and internal panels, and the jobs we see most are air handling units due a clean after building work and units that have only ever had filter changes.
Somewhere as small as Thorley Street, ducted ventilation is usually limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Somewhere as small as Thorley Street, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What a clean will not put right
AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:

- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Building management system faults
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Thorley Street
Do you work in villages like Thorley Street?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Thorley Street is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can ventilation in schools around Thorley Street be cleaned out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Thorley Street. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you repair air handling units?
Mechanical repairs to the unit are for your HVAC maintenance contractor. We will flag anything we notice during the clean.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can quote for both.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Do not store bins or materials near the intake
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can survey both.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
Filters
Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. The filter section is cleaned so new or cleaned filters sit properly.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
