AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Aythorpe Roding

Our AHU cleans for sites in Aythorpe Roding cover the parts that collect dirt: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after photos in a report. If you have dust built up on fan impellers and air handling units never cleaned inside, we can put it right, from supply and extract fans, dampers and louvres and internal panels onwards.

In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.

We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Do you work in villages like Aythorpe Roding?

They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.

What does AHU cleaning cost?

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

How it works

We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Aythorpe Roding.

  1. The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
  2. The area is protected and the unit made safe.
  3. Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
  4. Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
  5. We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.

Preparing for the visit

  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Getting a quote

Quotes are quick. 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.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Between visits

Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:

  • Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
  • Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
  • Keep filter changes on time and recorded
  • Clear leaves and litter away from the intake

Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, 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. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.

Multi-site and managed buildings

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

What affects the quote in Aythorpe Roding

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:

  • The times the site is available
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • What state the system is in

One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

What we need to know

We can often survey from photos. Try to include:

  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
