AHU cleaning in Burnt Hill

About our AHU cleaning in Burnt Hill

An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with photos, so the report shows exactly what was done. If you have filters that are clogged or overdue and stale or musty smells from the ventilation, we can put it right, from dampers and louvres, supply and extract fans and internal panels onwards.

For a building in or near Burnt Hill, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.

A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us

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.

Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

What happens on the day

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Burnt Hill run smoothly.

  1. We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
  2. With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it 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. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Common problems we fix in Burnt Hill

Whatever surrounds a building in Burnt Hill, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and the finer material travels on.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
  • Dust built up on fan impellers
  • Filters that are clogged or overdue
  • Dust-coated heating and cooling coils

Classrooms and halls at schools such as Yattendon C.E. Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

What your quote should include

  • What records you will receive afterwards
  • Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach

  • If they look at the system before pricing

Our hiring checklist

How we price AHU cleaning

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:

  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • What state the system is in
  • How many systems or sites are involved

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Asking for a quote

A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:

  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What the work involves, part by part

Rooftop and plant room units

Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.

Fans and fan sections

Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe with your site team.

Burnt Hill: your questions answered

Can the work in Burnt Hill be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.

Do you cover Burnt Hill for AHU cleaning?

Yes, Burnt Hill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day of the survey details.

Can you quote from pictures?

In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.

How long does an AHU clean take?

As a guide, it takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. We plan the shutdown around that, out of hours if needed.

What’s included in an AHU clean?

Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.

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

We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

How much does AHU cleaning cost in Burnt Hill?

Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.

Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?

Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.

What AHU cleaning can’t fix

We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:

  • Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
  • A system that is undersized for the building
  • Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings

If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What the work covers

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

What happens if it’s left?

Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. Planning a trip to Burnt Hill ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

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 will go through it with you.
