AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Tilford
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with pictures, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. Common call-outs are for intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and odours coming through the supply air, on heating and cooling coils, drain trays and filter sections.
For a building in or near Tilford, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Tilford.
- The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
Questions from Tilford
Do you work at weekends in Tilford?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Tilford?
Yes. Tilford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We will flag anything we notice during the clean.
How often do AHUs need cleaning?
That’s set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Tilford?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Make sure condensate is draining away
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.
Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
What AHU cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Heating and cooling coils
- Internal panels
- Supply and extract fans
- Drain trays
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
Why act early in Tilford
When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. That makes the next inspection of a building in Tilford simpler. Planning a trip to Tilford ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Drain trays
Drain trays can rust and leak over time. We record their condition with photos so you can decide on any repairs.
Filters
Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. We photograph them for the report.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
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.
