How we handle AHU cleaning in West Farleigh
An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with pictures, so the report shows exactly what was done. If you have units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and odours coming through the supply air, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like West Farleigh, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

What we’re called out for in West Farleigh
An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and some travels further into the unit.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Dust built up on fan impellers
Classrooms and halls at schools such as Oakwood Park Grammar School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
- Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

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 are done before the unit is handed back.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. Access is planned during the survey so the quote reflects it.
Why it’s worth doing now in West Farleigh
Dirt left in an air handling unit doesn’t stay in the unit. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. It’s simpler to plan the work at West Farleigh now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
