How AHU cleaning works in Milton Keynes

Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. The work covers filter sections, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are stale or musty smells from the ventilation and plant that needs cleaning after a refit.

Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one.

  1. We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
  2. With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
  3. Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
  4. Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
  5. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

Common problems we fix in Milton Keynes

No filter stops everything. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
  • Dust built up on fan impellers
  • Air handling units due a clean after building work
  • Dust-coated heating and cooling coils

Different parts, different methods

Fans and fan sections

Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.

Heating and cooling coils

Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. They’re cleaned using methods that will not bend or flatten the fins.

Between visits

No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:

  • Do not store bins or materials near the intake
  • Change filters on schedule and log each change
  • Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
  • Make sure condensate is draining away

We recommend when the unit should next be inspected or cleaned, based on what we found. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.

Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Milton Keynes

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

  • The number of sites or systems
  • The scale of the work
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • The condition of the system

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Helping us quote

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Honest limits

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:

  • Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
  • Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
  • Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
