AHU cleaning near Bradwell

AHU cleaning in Bradwell

Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Bradwell and the rest of Oxfordshire, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. If you are dealing with coils clogged with dust and debris and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays, we can put it right, from filter sections, drain trays and internal panels onwards.

Somewhere as small as Bradwell, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

How the job changes from site to site

Heating and cooling coils

A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.

Rooftop and plant room units

Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. We plan safe access as part of the survey so the quote reflects it.

Bradwell questions

Can the work in Bradwell be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Bradwell needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Is Bradwell within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?

Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, with any faults we noticed.

How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?

As a guide, it takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. The shutdown is planned to fit, out of hours if needed.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.

What accreditations do you have?

We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.

Are you insured?

Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.

What do you do to protect the area?

Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning

You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:

  • How easy every part is to reach
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits

Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

What to send for a quote

Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:

  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • A few general shots of the system
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
  • Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
  • Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself

If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on in Bradwell

  • Internal panels
  • Dampers and louvres
  • Drain trays
  • Filter sections
  • Supply and extract fans
  • Heating and cooling coils

What happens on the day

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 anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Somewhere as small as Bradwell, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.

  1. We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
  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. We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.

How to prepare

  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Tell us where we can park and unload

Getting a quote

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Advice

What staff can safely do

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

Why deal with it now?

Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. Somewhere as small as Bradwell, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.
