AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wittensford
Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. 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 filter sections, supply and extract fans and internal panels, and the jobs we see most are stale or musty smells from the ventilation and dirty coils holding back the airflow.
Work in a small place like Wittensford starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Wittensford before we set off.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
- We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same.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 give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What AHU cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
- The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
- Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Internal panels
- Heating and cooling coils
- Supply and extract fans
- Dampers and louvres
- Filter sections
- Drain trays
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
- Report stiff or damaged access doors
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.
Common questions in Wittensford
Can you work in Wittensford outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Wittensford keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you do AHU cleaning in Wittensford?
Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Wittensford included. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few photos of the system.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.
How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?
Expect it to take half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Size, layout and how dirty it is decide the rest, and we will confirm the time when we quote.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, with any faults we noticed.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. The shutdown is planned with whoever runs the building.
Common problems we fix in Wittensford
Air handling units are normally tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
- Drain trays holding standing water
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
Healthcare buildings such as Tatchbury Mount Hospital, about 3 miles east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Wittensford, yours matters too.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to 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, next to our reports.
