How we price AHU cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate

About our AHU cleaning in West Yoke
Drain trays under cooling coils are meant to empty. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, in the airstream that feeds the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. If you are dealing with dirty filters cutting the airflow and leaves and litter drawn into the unit, we can help, from supply and extract fans, internal panels and heating and cooling coils onwards.
Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What we do, step by step
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. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near West Yoke, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
- We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

What’s TR19?

Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
When to call us in West Yoke
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it doesn’t always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Condensate trays that will not empty
- Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
Healthcare buildings such as Darent Valley Hospital, about 5.2 miles north, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near West Yoke, yours matters too.
Questions to ask before you book
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Leave it or put it right?
A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. It’s simpler to plan the work at West Yoke now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Why us?
- We’re fully insured
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to confirm water is draining away.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
