About our AHU cleaning in Bossingham

Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Bossingham and the rest of Kent, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. If you have air handling units never cleaned inside and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, we can put it right.

Somewhere as small as Bossingham, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.

A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits

Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:

  • Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
  • Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
  • Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
  • Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily

The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can survey both.

Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Bossingham?

Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray doesn’t fall properly, water stands in it, and that is where slime and odours start.

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

  • Air handling units with blocked filters
  • Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
  • Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
  • Coils clogged with dust and debris

School buildings such as Stelling Minnis Church of England Primary School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

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.

Drain trays

Older trays can corrode and start leaking. We record their condition with pictures so you can decide on any repairs.

What affects the quote in Bossingham

Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • The condition of the system

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

Asking for a quote

Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:

  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

For landlords and multi-site operators

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Bossingham and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

How it works

Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the AHU cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. 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 Bossingham run smoothly.

  1. First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
  2. Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
  3. Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
  4. The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
  5. After photos are taken and the certificate issued.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Getting a quote

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
