AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wroxall
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. If you are dealing with dust built up on fan impellers and leaves and litter drawn into the unit, we can help, from dampers and louvres, drain trays and internal panels onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Wroxall, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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 affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
What a clean will not put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what AHU cleaning will not do:
- A system that is undersized for the building
- Building management system faults
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Drain trays

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Wroxall
Can ventilation in schools around Wroxall be cleaned out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Wroxall. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can the work in Wroxall be done at night or at weekends?
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.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.

Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Wroxall.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Why act early in Wroxall
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. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
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. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. The timing of a visit to Wroxall is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. About 2.3 miles north-east of Wroxall is Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, the nearest hospital. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital.
Wherever a school like Wroxall Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Wroxall, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (about 2.3 miles north-east).

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
- Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
Stick to the filter change schedule, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
