AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Tottenham Hale
Where a building in Tottenham Hale has had little more than filter changes, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. If you have coils clogged with dust and debris and air handling units with blocked filters, we can help, from filter sections, dampers and louvres and internal panels onwards.
London buildings often depend on air handling units in plant rooms or on the roof to supply fresh air. In a building in Tottenham Hale, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Book the next check in line with the report
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to confirm water is draining away.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.
How the job changes from site to site
Internal casing and panels
We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we’re done, and check every one is shut.
Fans and fan sections
Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What affects the quote in Tottenham Hale
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- A system that is undersized for the building
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Air handling units never cleaned inside

The process
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. In a London area like Tottenham Hale, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.

The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?

Will you repair the fan or motor?
Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
