AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Thorpe Green
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with photos, so the report shows exactly what was done. The work covers supply and extract fans, drain trays and filter sections, and common reasons people get in touch are debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and odours coming through the supply air.
Somewhere as small as Thorpe Green, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What AHU cleaning looks like in Thorpe Green
There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities and about 4 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) on the FSA’s food hygiene register within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Thorpe Green. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. About 20 miles out from central London, Thorpe Green is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Thorpe Green’s nearest hospital, St. Peter's Hospital, is about 2 miles south-east. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
For schools like Thorpe CofE Aided Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Thorpe Green, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like St. Peter's Hospital (about 2 miles south-east). If you manage offices or shops near Virginia Water station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours.

The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Thorpe Green, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it 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.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we’ve finished. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to make sure it stays clear.
Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers

How we price AHU cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Thorpe Green
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
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.
Fans and fan sections
The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
Thorpe Green: your questions answered
Can you work in Thorpe Green outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Thorpe Green needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can a school’s ventilation in Thorpe Green be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 5 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Thorpe Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.

That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
