What we do, step by step

- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.

Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. If you have air handling units never cleaned inside and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake, we can put it right.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.
Rooftop and plant room units
Many AHUs sit on roofs or in plant rooms with limited access. Access is planned during the survey, before we quote.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we’ve finished. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first 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.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
