AHU cleaning across Brighton Hill

Brighton Hill buildings and their air

Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 22 schools, colleges and universities, about 23 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses serving food within about 1.5 miles of central Brighton Hill. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. Brighton Hill is about 47 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 2.1 miles north of Brighton Hill. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.

School buildings such as Brighton Hill Community School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

About our AHU cleaning in Brighton Hill

All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. Common call-outs are for rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and coils clogged with dust and debris, across supply and extract fans, drain trays and internal panels.

For a building near Brighton Hill, the visit is planned around how it’s used, and the journey is planned ahead. The method does not change: inspect first, clean, then record what was done.

Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures 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.

Between visits

Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:

  • Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
  • Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
  • Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
  • Report water on the plant room floor

Stick to the filter change schedule, because good filters protect everything downstream. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.

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

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

  • The condition of the system
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • The scale of the work
  • Where the site is and how we reach it

What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

What we need to know

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

  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Any previous report or certificate
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site

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 work begins.

What staff can safely do

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

What we’re called out for in Brighton Hill

An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and the finer material travels on.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
  • Dirty fans and fan housings
  • Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
  • Air handling units never cleaned inside

If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Brighton Hill, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (about 2.1 miles north).

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

What a clean won’t put right

We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what AHU cleaning won’t do:

  • Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
  • Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
  • The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately

If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Parts of the system we cover

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

Brighton Hill: your questions answered

Do you work at weekends in Brighton Hill?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Brighton Hill doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Brighton Hill in the summer holidays?

Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 22 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Brighton Hill. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.

What if parts of the system can’t be reached?

The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.

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.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

What information do you need?

The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.

Will you repair the fan or motor?

Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We clean the unit and report anything we see that needs attention.

Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?

Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, and any sections we cannot reach are noted in the report, with new panels fitted where needed.

How it works

Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a place like Brighton Hill, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.

  1. First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
  2. Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
  3. We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
  4. The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
  5. We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
