What a clean won’t put right

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

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

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in East Garston

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. We’re often asked to deal with dust-coated heating and cooling coils and stale or musty smells from the ventilation, across filter sections, heating and cooling coils and dampers and louvres.

In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Part by part

Rooftop and plant room units

Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.

Heating and cooling coils

Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that won’t bend or flatten the fins.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:

  • Change filters on schedule and log each change
  • Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
  • Report musty smells from the vents straight away
  • Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily

Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.

Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning

The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:

  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • Travel, parking and unloading

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Helping us quote

Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:

  • Any previous report or certificate
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

The process

The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. In a small place like East Garston, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.

  1. The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
  2. The area is protected and the unit made safe.
  3. Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
  4. We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
  5. We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Clear loose items from the work area

Common questions in East Garston

Do you work at weekends in East Garston?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in East Garston does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

Do you work in villages like East Garston?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, East Garston included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Do you give a certificate after the clean?

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

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.

How often do AHUs need cleaning?

TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. We recommend a next date in each report.

Are you insured?

Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.

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.

Common problems we fix in East Garston

Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and slime and smells soon follow.

The symptoms we’re asked about most are:

  • Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
  • Units that have only ever had filter changes
  • Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
  • Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs

In East Garston, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.

What your quote should include

  • How they set the interval to the next visit
  • Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
  • Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
  • Proof of insurance
