AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Upstreet
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. If you have stale or musty smells from the ventilation and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, we can help, from drain trays, internal panels and heating and cooling coils onwards.
Somewhere as small as Upstreet, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Upstreet
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Upstreet knowing what to expect.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
- Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
- Make sure condensate is draining away
Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.
FAQs for Upstreet
Will you come out to Upstreet?
Yes, Upstreet is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you cover Upstreet for AHU cleaning?
Yes, Upstreet is covered. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day of the survey details.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
Mechanical repairs to the unit are for your HVAC maintenance contractor. We will flag anything we notice during the clean.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
How long does an AHU clean take?
Cleaning takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Large plant can be split over several shifts, and you can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form to plan it.

- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.

Part by part
Fans and fan sections
Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. Cleaning keeps it running as intended.
Rooftop and plant room units
Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. We protect the area below before opening them.
What affects the quote in Upstreet
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
