AHU cleaning in Felbridge

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Felbridge

All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. The work covers heating and cooling coils, filter sections and drain trays, and common reasons people get in touch are odours coming through the supply air and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris.

Work in a small place like Felbridge starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.

A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

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 can quote for the whole system.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

How it works

When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. In a small place like Felbridge, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.

  1. We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
  2. We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
  3. We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
  4. We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
  5. We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.

How to prepare

  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Tell us where we can park and unload
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Common questions in Felbridge

Can you get to a site in Felbridge?

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

Can you come to Felbridge after we close?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Felbridge can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Is a quote from photos possible?

Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.

Do you need to switch the unit off?

Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.

What do you do to protect the area?

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?

Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.

What is TR19?

A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.

What the work involves, part by part

Rooftop and plant room units

Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. We protect the area below before opening them.

Heating and cooling coils

Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.

Why act early in Felbridge

Tenants, auditors and owners may want proof that the air handling plant is kept clean. Our certificate and photo report give you clear evidence, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. In a place like Felbridge, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Why book with us

  • Survey first, then a fixed quote

Common problems we fix in Felbridge

Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Felbridge, that’s air they breathe for hours at a time.

The symptoms we’re asked about most are:

  • Coils clogged with dust and debris
  • Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
  • Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
  • Plant that needs cleaning after a refit

Queen Victoria Hospital, about 2.2 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Felbridge, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What’s included in the scope, part by part
  • How they set the interval to the next visit
  • How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
  • Whether the figure could change on the day

Questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips

Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
  • Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
  • Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
  • Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away

Restart the unit with your site team or maintenance contractor once we have finished. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to make sure it stays clear.

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