Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. We clean them with care so the fins aren’t damaged.
Drain trays
The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.
AHU cleaning in Well Head
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. We look at the unit first, from pictures or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. The work covers supply and extract fans, drain trays and internal panels, and common reasons people get in touch are intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and plant that needs cleaning after a refit.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Well Head: your questions answered
Can you clean school ventilation in Well Head during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Well Head. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Will you come out to Well Head?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Well Head included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Will you repair the fan or motor?
The clean includes noting faults, but repairs sit with your maintenance contractor, with pictures where it helps.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
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.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can survey both on the same visit.
Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, including anything we think needs attention.
Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Well Head
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
- Leaking heating or cooling coils
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Supply and extract fans
- Heating and cooling coils
- Drain trays
- Internal panels
- Filter sections
- Dampers and louvres
Why act early in Well Head
Standing water in a drain tray does not clear itself. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. With notice, the visit to Well Head can be fitted around your bookings and events.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. In a small place like Well Head, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote

What staff can safely do
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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
