AHU cleaning across Drayton Parslow

What happens on the day

A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Drayton Parslow before we set off.

  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. We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Drayton Parslow

Units vary a lot in size, age and layout, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. We look at the unit first, from pictures or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. If you have plant that has been serviced but not cleaned and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, we can put it right.

In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.

The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Drayton Parslow

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

Looking after it afterwards

Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:

  • Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
  • Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
  • Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
  • Report musty smells from the vents straight away

Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we’ve finished. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to make sure it stays clear.

Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.

What the work involves, part by part

Internal casing and panels

Dust settles on every internal surface of the unit. We clean each section from intake to discharge.

Rooftop and plant room units

Many AHUs sit on roofs or in plant rooms with limited access. We plan safe access as part of the survey so the quote reflects it.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Drayton Parslow

No filter stops everything. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, building up layer by layer.

Common reasons sites call us are:

  • Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
  • Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
  • Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
  • Stale or musty smells from the ventilation

For schools like Drayton Parslow Village School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

What to look for in a quote

Honest limits

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
  • Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself

What staff can safely do

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Drayton Parslow: your questions answered

Can a school’s ventilation in Drayton Parslow be done out of term time?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Drayton Parslow. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.

Will you come out to Drayton Parslow?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Drayton Parslow is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.

Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?

Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can survey both on the same visit.

Which sectors do you work in?

We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.

How much notice should we give?

That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

What does AHU cleaning cost?

Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
