AHU cleaning across Coney Hall

How we handle AHU cleaning in Coney Hall

No two plant rooms are the same, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. Every job starts with a survey, from pictures or on site, followed by a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. Typical jobs include dirty filters cutting the airflow and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs, across drain trays, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils.

London buildings tend to keep their plant on the roof or below ground, so ventilation cleaning in Coney Hall is typically planned out of hours. Parking and loading are agreed with the building in advance.

The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

The process

A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the AHU cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Coney Hall is no exception.

  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. Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
  4. The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
  5. After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Ventilation in Coney Hall buildings

The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 12 schools, colleges and universities and about 30 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) with registered kitchens or food service within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Coney Hall. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Many London buildings have had their ductwork altered through several fit-outs, so an inspection comes first. About 0.8 miles north-west of Coney Hall is National Psychosis Unit, the nearest hospital. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital.

If you manage offices or shops near West Wickham station, their ventilation can be inspected and cleaned out of hours. Classrooms and halls at schools such as Forest Academy are easiest to work in when pupils are away. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Coney Hall, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like National Psychosis Unit (about 0.8 miles north-west).

What AHU cleaning cannot fix

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

  • A system that’s undersized for the building
  • Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
  • Leaking heating or cooling coils

If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Parts of the system we cover

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

What happens if it’s left?

Standing water in a drain tray does not clear itself. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. In Coney Hall, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Why us?

  • Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
  • Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
  • We are fully insured
  • Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Aftercare tips

After the visit, a few habits help the work last:

  • Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
  • Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
  • Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
  • Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear

The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, taking into account how dirty it was. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.

Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.

Common questions in Coney Hall

Can you clean school ventilation in Coney Hall during the holidays?

Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 12 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Coney Hall. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.

Do you work at weekends in Coney Hall?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Coney Hall doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Do you give a certificate after the clean?

Yes, both a certificate and a report with photos. It includes a recommended date for the next check.

What types of premises do you cover?

All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.

Do you cover Coney Hall?

Yes. We cover Coney Hall and across Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

How much notice should we give?

It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.

Do you need to switch the unit off?

Yes, while the clean is under way. Out-of-hours work is available so the building isn’t left without ventilation when it’s busy.

Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?

Every section that collects dirt: filters, coils, tray, fan and panels. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.

What affects the quote in Coney Hall

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:

  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • The scale of the work
  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing

Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

Helping us quote

To speed up the quote, send us:

  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures 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 we start.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too 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’ll send a fixed quote.
