About our AHU cleaning in Tokyngton
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Tokyngton and the rest of Greater London, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. The work covers heating and cooling coils, supply and extract fans and internal panels, and people most often call us about drain trays holding standing water and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. In Tokyngton, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What affects the quote in Tokyngton
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- 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
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tokyngton
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, especially where there’s been moisture. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What you get with us
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Don’t let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.
Questions from Tokyngton
Can parking be tricky for a job in Tokyngton?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Tokyngton makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Do you work overnight in Tokyngton?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.
How long does an AHU clean take?
It takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and we will confirm the time when we quote.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Ventilation in Tokyngton buildings
Food Standards Agency records list about 31 schools, colleges and universities, about 56 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 8 hotels and guest houses registered as food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Tokyngton. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. In London, ventilation plant is often on the roof or below ground, so the work is typically done out of hours. Neasden Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 0.7 miles east of Tokyngton. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital.
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Neasden Hospital (about 0.7 miles east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. Wherever a school like Elsley Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What we are called out for in Tokyngton
Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and slime and smells soon follow.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Condensate trays that will not empty
Workplaces around Stonebridge Park station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether they recommend a next date
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Tokyngton needs from us.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- 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
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
