Signs you need AHU cleaning in Braywoodside

Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and that is where slime and odours start.

Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Condensate trays that won’t empty
  • Filters that are clogged or overdue
  • Dirty fans and fan housings
  • Leaves and litter drawn into the unit

School buildings such as Holyport College are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

Questions to ask before you book

AHU cleaning in Braywoodside

Our AHU cleans for sites in Braywoodside cover the parts that collect dirt: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. If you have dirty filters cutting the airflow and air handling units never cleaned inside, we can help, from drain trays, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres onwards.

In a village or hamlet like Braywoodside, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.

Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What a clean won’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:

  • Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
  • Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
  • Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on in Braywoodside

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

How the job changes from site to site

Internal casing and panels

Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. We clean each section from intake to discharge.

Drain trays

Older trays can corrode and start leaking. Their condition goes into the report with pictures so you can decide on any repairs.

What your team can do, and what needs us

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Why deal with it now?

Standing water in a drain tray doesn’t clear itself. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. Somewhere as small as Braywoodside, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Between visits

Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:

  • Report stiff or damaged access doors
  • Make sure condensate is draining away
  • Stick to the filter change plan
  • Report water on the plant room floor

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 make sure it stays clear.

Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.

Questions from Braywoodside

Is AHU cleaning available in Braywoodside?

Yes, Braywoodside is covered. You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us what needs doing.

Can you get to a site in Braywoodside?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Braywoodside included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

What information do you need?

Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.

Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?

Yes. We clean supply and extract ductwork to TR19® Air as well. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can quote for both.

Do you repair air handling units?

Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. Any faults we notice are recorded for your maintenance team to follow up.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.

How long does an AHU clean take?

The work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Bigger units can be phased, so ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email to talk it through.

The process

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Braywoodside can be planned properly.

  1. We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
  2. The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
  3. We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
  4. Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
  5. A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Getting a quote

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
