AHU cleaning in Westcombe Park
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. The work covers supply and extract fans, drain trays and internal panels, and people most often call us about odours coming through the supply air and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years.
Across London, offices, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings rely on mechanical ventilation, much of it supplied through air handling units on roofs or in basements. For a building in Westcombe Park, dust settles in the units and ducts year after year.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site
Fans and fan sections
The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated in agreement with the site.
Internal casing and panels
Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Westcombe Park and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Westcombe Park buildings and their air
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 51 schools, colleges and universities, about 54 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses with registered kitchens or food service within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Westcombe Park. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. Greenwich District Hospital is the nearest hospital, about under half a mile west of Westcombe Park. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale. In London, ventilation plant is often on the roof or below ground, so the work is typically done out of hours.
Wherever a school like Halstow Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. If you run an office near Westcombe Park station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside.

FAQs for Westcombe Park
Can ventilation in schools around Westcombe Park be cleaned out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Westcombe Park, the Food Standards Agency lists about 51 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Westcombe Park?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Westcombe Park?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can quote for both.

How we price AHU cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Expect the work in Westcombe Park to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Other services in Westcombe Park
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
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.
Common problems we fix in Westcombe Park
Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For the people using the building every day, that is the air they breathe for hours on end.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Dirty fans and fan housings
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
Hospitals such as Greenwich District Hospital (about within half a mile west) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Westcombe Park are no different.
