How we handle AHU cleaning in Golden Pot

We clean air handling units for buildings in Golden Pot and across Hampshire, working to TR19® Air, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. Typical jobs include plant that needs cleaning after a refit and odours coming through the supply air, across internal panels, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres.

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.

The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What AHU cleaning cannot fix

We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:

  • A system that is undersized for the building
  • Leaking heating or cooling coils
  • Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean

If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Where we work

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

Multi-site and managed buildings

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Keeping the system healthy

Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Report stiff or damaged access doors
  • Change filters on schedule and log each change
  • Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
  • Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced

Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.

Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.

Golden Pot: your questions answered

Will you come out to Golden Pot?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Can you work in Golden Pot outside opening hours?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

Do you repair air handling units?

AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report for your maintenance team to follow up.

Can you price the work without visiting?

Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.

Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?

All the internal parts the air touches, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. The photo report shows each section before and after.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

Do you clean the ductwork as well?

Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, with new panels fitted where necessary.

How often do AHUs need cleaning?

Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.

Common problems we fix in Golden Pot

Most units live out of sight on roofs, in plant rooms or in ceiling voids and are rarely seen by anyone but maintenance staff. It’s easy for a long time to go by without anyone opening the panels.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • Dirty fans and fan housings
  • Air handling units due a clean after building work
  • Condensate trays that will not empty
  • Filters that are clogged or overdue

Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Alton Community Hospital (about 3 miles south) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

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

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

What the work involves, part by part

Filters

Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. We check them, and clean or change them as agreed in the quote, and the housing around them is cleaned too.

Fans and fan sections

The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated in agreement with the site.

How the visit works

There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Golden Pot and turn up when the site is quiet.

  1. We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
  2. The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
  3. Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
  4. We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
  5. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Move anything stored near the system
