College Park questions

Can you come to College Park after we close?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in College Park doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.

Can a school’s ventilation in College Park be done out of term time?

Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 66 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of College Park, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.

What does TR19 mean?

A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.

What happens to the waste?

It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.

Will you repair the fan or motor?

We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with pictures where it helps.

Do you work in College Park?

Yes. Our technicians work in College Park, within the South East and London area we cover.

Will the ventilation be off while you clean?

Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in College Park

An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so the report shows exactly what was done. If you are dealing with debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and dirty fans and fan housings, we can put it right.

Many London buildings have had their ventilation extended and altered through several fit-outs, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. In College Park, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.

Each visit ends with a written report and photos, 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 affects the cost of AHU cleaning

The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:

  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • What state the system is in
  • The size of the system
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Asking for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • 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, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

When to call us in College Park

Whatever surrounds a building in College Park, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and some travels further into the unit.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Air handling units due a clean after building work
  • Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
  • Odours coming through the supply air
  • Dust built up on fan impellers

For schools like Kenmont Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Before booking anyone

  • If they look at the system before pricing
  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • Whether a written report and photos are included
  • Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach

Questions to ask before you book

When it’s something else

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking heating or cooling coils
  • Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
  • The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately

If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

What the work covers

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

The process

Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in College Park.

  1. First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
  2. We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
  3. We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
  4. We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
  5. We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.

How to prepare

  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice

What your team can do, and what needs us

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.

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, next to our reports.

For landlords and multi-site operators

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy

Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:

  • Report water on the plant room floor
  • Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
  • Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
  • Keep filter changes on time and recorded

Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.

Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.
