What affects the cost of AHU cleaning

Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:

  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • The size of the system
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • The times the site is available

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What we need to know

What to send for a quote:

  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Any previous report or certificate
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet

For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

AHU cleaning in Bagshot, done properly

All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. The work covers dampers and louvres, filter sections and internal panels, and people most often call us about plant that needs cleaning after a refit and dust-coated heating and cooling coils.

Work in a small place like Bagshot starts with agreeing access and timings.

The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Part by part

Drain trays

Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.

Filters

Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and clean the filter housing.

Looking after it afterwards

How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:

  • Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
  • Change filters on schedule and log each change
  • Book the next check in line with the report
  • Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced

When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to confirm water is draining away.

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

What happens on the day

There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Somewhere like Bagshot, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.

  1. We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
  2. We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
  3. Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
  4. Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
  5. A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Move anything stored near the system

Do you need AHU cleaning in Bagshot?

Air handling units are typically 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.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
  • Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
  • Dirty fans and fan housings
  • Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs

In Bagshot, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.
