AHU cleaning across Edgehill

Different parts, different methods

Filters

Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.

Fans and fan sections

Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe in agreement with the site.

How we handle AHU cleaning in Edgehill

We clean air handling units for buildings in Edgehill and across Oxfordshire, working to TR19® Air, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. The work covers supply and extract fans, drain trays and internal panels, and common reasons people get in touch are dust built up on fan impellers and air handling units never cleaned inside.

Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.

We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

When to call us in Edgehill

Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray does not fall properly, water stands in it, and slime and smells soon follow.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
  • Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
  • Dirty fans and fan housings
  • Odours coming through the supply air

Around Edgehill, as anywhere, ventilation cleaning begins with an inspection.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What records you will receive afterwards
  • Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
  • Whether the figure could change on the day
  • When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours

Our hiring checklist

Between visits

Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
  • Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
  • Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
  • Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order

Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.

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

FAQs for Edgehill

Can the work in Edgehill be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Edgehill needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.

Will you come out to Edgehill?

Yes. Edgehill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

What accreditations do you have?

We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Can one contract cover all our 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 price the work without visiting?

Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.

How much notice do you need?

Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.

Where does the waste go?

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

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, next to our reports.

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

Why act early in Edgehill

When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. It also means the next inspection has less to find. With notice, the visit to Edgehill can be fitted around your bookings and events.

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Why us?

  • Every job surveyed first
  • Every visit written up, with pictures
  • Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
  • CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

How it works

The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Edgehill before we set off.

  1. We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
  2. We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
  3. Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
  4. We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
  5. The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

How to get a quote

To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

What affects the quote in Edgehill

The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:

  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • Any permits to work or inductions

Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

What to send for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:

  • Any previous report or certificate
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
