For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Thrupp
Where a building in Thrupp has had little more than filter changes, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. If you have fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and drain trays holding standing water, we can help.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Do you work in Thrupp?
Yes. Thrupp is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Somewhere as small as Thrupp, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What affects the quote in Thrupp
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
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 unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
Leave it or put it right?
Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. Our certificate and photo report give you clear evidence, ready to show anyone who asks. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- A written report with photos after each visit
