AHU cleaning for sites in Beauchamp Roding

The process

We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Beauchamp Roding run smoothly.

  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. Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
  4. Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
  5. The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.

How to prepare

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Let us know about parking and loading

How to get a quote

Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Advice

AHU cleaning in Beauchamp Roding

Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. The work covers drain trays, heating and cooling coils and internal panels, and the jobs we see most are intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and drain trays holding standing water.

For a building in or near Beauchamp Roding, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.

The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Honest limits

AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:

  • Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
  • Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
  • Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Beauchamp Roding: your questions answered

Do you work overnight in Beauchamp Roding?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Beauchamp Roding can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Do you work in villages like Beauchamp Roding?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Beauchamp Roding included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Which accreditations do you hold?

BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.

What happens to the waste?

It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.

What types of premises do you cover?

Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.

How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?

That’s set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

Can you fix a faulty AHU?

AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. Any faults we notice are recorded so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning

Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:

  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • A single visit or a regular plan

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Asking for a quote

We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:

  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • A few general shots of the system
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Why deal with it now?

A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, especially where there’s been moisture. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.

You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.

Why us?

  • A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
  • We diagnose before we treat
  • Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
  • Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Part by part

Fans and fan sections

Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.

Filters

Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and clean the filter housing.

When to call us in Beauchamp Roding

Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.

Keep an eye out for these warning signs:

  • Coils clogged with dust and debris
  • Air handling units due a clean after building work
  • Odours coming through the supply air
  • Drain trays holding standing water

For sites in and around Beauchamp Roding, the units and the ductwork are both looked at.
