AHU cleaning for sites in Busbridge

What we are called out for in Busbridge

Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • Air handling units never cleaned inside
  • Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
  • Dirty coils holding back the airflow
  • Dust built up on fan impellers

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

What your quote should include

  • Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
  • Whether they recommend a next date
  • If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
  • Exactly which parts of the system are covered

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Busbridge

Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so the report shows exactly what was done. The work covers drain trays, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are air handling units due a clean after building work and filters that are clogged or overdue.

Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.

Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. 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

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

Multi-site and managed buildings

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Part by part

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, before we quote.

Heating and cooling coils

Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. We clean them with care so the fins aren’t damaged.

The process

When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Busbridge.

  1. We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
  2. Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
  3. We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
  4. We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
  5. After photos are taken and the certificate issued.

How to prepare

  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Related advice

Busbridge: your questions answered

Is Busbridge 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.

Can you clean school ventilation in Busbridge during the holidays?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Busbridge. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.

Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?

Yes, for the time we’re working on it. We can work evenings, overnight or at weekends to keep disruption down.

Are you accredited?

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

What do you need from me for a quote?

Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

Which sectors do you work in?

All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.

What about areas you can’t get to?

We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.

Why deal with it now?

Tenants, auditors and owners may want proof that the air handling plant is kept clean. Our certificate and photo report give you clear evidence, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

What you get with us

  • Survey first, then a fixed quote
  • Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
  • Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
  • Photo reports with every job

What affects the quote in Busbridge

You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:

  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • The condition of the system
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • The size 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. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Helping us quote

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
