AHU cleaning for sites in Fulking

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Fulking

We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. The work covers supply and extract fans, drain trays and filter sections, and people most often call us about stale or musty smells from the ventilation and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake.

For a building in or near Fulking, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.

We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
  • Faulty motors, drives or bearings
  • Leaking heating or cooling coils

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What the work covers

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

For landlords and multi-site operators

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

What your team can do, and what needs us

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.

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’s our job.

Between visits

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • Keep filter changes on time and recorded
  • Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
  • Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
  • Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it

The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, taking into account how dirty it was. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.

Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Fulking

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.

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

  • Odours coming through the supply air
  • Filters that are clogged or overdue
  • Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
  • Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned

Hospitals such as Southlands Hospital (about 3.7 miles south) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Fulking are no different.

The process

The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. For a village or hamlet like Fulking, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.

  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. Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
  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.

Related advice

Leave it or put it right?

If people in a building in Fulking complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Fulking rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

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.
