AHU cleaning near Chale Green

AHU cleaning in Chale Green, done properly

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. The work covers drain trays, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres, and people most often call us about drain trays holding standing water and units that have only ever had filter changes.

For a building in or near Chale Green, 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.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Questions from Chale Green

Do you work in villages like Chale Green?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Can the work in Chale Green be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.

What happens to the waste?

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.

How do you protect the area?

We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.

What if parts of the system cannot be reached?

They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.

How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?

That’s set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.

Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?

Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.

What do you clean inside the unit?

All the internal parts the air touches, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.

Different parts, different methods

Filters

Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.

Internal casing and panels

Access doors and panels are opened in turn and closed properly afterwards, and check every one is shut.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

What affects the quote in Chale Green

There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:

  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • The size of the system
  • The times the site is available

The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What to send for a quote

When you contact us, these details help:

  • The site address and the type of premises

The process

A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the AHU cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Somewhere like Chale Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

For landlords and multi-site operators

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
