How we handle AHU cleaning in West Wickham
Our AHU cleans for sites in West Wickham cover the parts that collect dirt: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. If you’re dealing with units that have only ever had filter changes and leaves and litter drawn into the unit, we can put it right, from dampers and louvres, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans onwards.
Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, with old runs left behind that are hard to reach. An inspection first shows where cleaning is needed in a building in West Wickham.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Ventilation in West Wickham buildings
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 10 schools, colleges and universities and about 33 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises with registered kitchens or food service within about 1.5 miles of central West Wickham. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Ventilation cleaning in London buildings is typically planned for evenings or weekends. About 0.6 miles north-west of West Wickham is National Psychosis Unit, the nearest hospital. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital.
For workplaces around West Wickham station with mechanical ventilation, cleaning can be done in the evening or at weekends. Wherever a school like Oak Lodge Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections
Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe with your site team.
Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. We clean each section from intake to discharge.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
West Wickham questions
Do you do school ventilation cleaning in West Wickham in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 10 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of West Wickham. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you work in West Wickham outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Typically, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can quote for both.
How we price AHU cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Why deal with it now?
Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. Planning ahead in West Wickham lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

- Every visit written up, with pictures
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
