How we price AHU cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
We don’t publish a 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 get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
About our AHU cleaning in Walthamstow Village
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. Typical jobs include coils clogged with dust and debris and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, on filter sections, internal panels and dampers and louvres.
London buildings tend to keep their plant on the roof or below ground, so work in Walthamstow Village is often done in the evening or at weekends. Loading and parking are planned with the building first.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What else we do in Walthamstow Village
How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. In Walthamstow Village, as across London, we usually work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What AHU cleaning looks like in Walthamstow Village
Food Standards Agency data includes about 31 schools, colleges and universities, about 70 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 3 hotels and guest houses in Walthamstow Village and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. The nearest hospital to Walthamstow Village is Wanstead Hospital, about 1.7 miles east. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes. In London, ventilation plant is often on the roof or below ground, so the work is usually done out of hours.
Hospitals such as Wanstead Hospital (about 1.7 miles east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Walthamstow Village are no different. If you run an office near Walthamstow Central station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside. Classrooms and halls at schools such as Walthamstow School for Girls are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

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 call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Book the next check in line with the report
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
When we’ve 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 make sure it stays clear.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Drain trays
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Internal panels
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
Why deal with it now?
When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. It also means the next inspection has less to find. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Walthamstow Village: your questions answered
Does London parking affect a job in Walthamstow Village?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Can a school’s ventilation in Walthamstow Village be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 31 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Walthamstow Village. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
There’s no single answer; it comes down to the building and the unit. Regular inspection shows when it’s due, and the report recommends a next date.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes, while the clean is under way. Out-of-hours work is available so the building is not left without ventilation when it’s busy.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you repair air handling units?
We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with photos where it helps.
