About our AHU cleaning in Wickstreet
No two plant rooms are the same, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. Every job starts with a survey, from pictures or on site, followed by a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. The work covers supply and extract fans, dampers and louvres and drain trays, and the jobs we see most are air handling units due a clean after building work and dirty coils holding back the airflow.
In a village or hamlet like Wickstreet, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Ventilation in Wickstreet buildings
We cover Wickstreet, about 46 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Wickstreet’s nearest hospital, Hellingly Hospital Railway, is about 3.8 miles north-east. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.
Hellingly Hospital Railway, about 3.8 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Wickstreet, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean. Classrooms and halls at schools such as Bede's Prep School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Wickstreet
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Wickstreet, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer

Wickstreet: your questions answered
Do you offer AHU cleaning in Wickstreet?
Yes, Wickstreet is within the area we cover across London and the South East. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with a few pictures of the system.
Can you work in Wickstreet outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Wickstreet needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. We will tell you after the survey whether the ducts need it.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report for your maintenance team to follow up.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Different parts, different methods
Heating and cooling coils
Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. Their condition goes into the report with photos so repairs can be planned.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
- Make sure condensate is draining away
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Report musty smells from the vents straight away
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wickstreet
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, especially where there’s been moisture. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Wickstreet is calmer for everyone.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
