AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Goldsworth Park

An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. Typical jobs include odours coming through the supply air and dirty filters cutting the airflow, on internal panels, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans.

In a smaller place like Goldsworth Park, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Smaller systems still gather dust and need inspecting.

Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

The process

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Goldsworth Park when you book.

  1. We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
  2. With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
  3. Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
  4. Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
  5. We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after pictures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

How to get a quote

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Common problems we fix in Goldsworth Park

Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Condensate trays that will not empty
  • Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
  • Dirty fans and fan housings
  • Filters that are clogged or overdue

Classrooms and halls at schools such as Goldsworth Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Questions to ask before you book

Between visits

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:

  • Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
  • File each AHU report in the maintenance log
  • Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
  • Clear leaves and litter away from the intake

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

Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.

FAQs for Goldsworth Park

Can ventilation in schools around Goldsworth Park be cleaned out of term?

Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Goldsworth Park, the Food Standards Agency lists about 15 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.

Can you work in Goldsworth Park outside opening hours?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Goldsworth Park keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.

How long will the unit be out of action?

As a guide, it takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. We plan the shutdown around that, including evenings or weekends.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

Do you repair air handling units?

Mechanical repairs to the unit are for your HVAC maintenance contractor. We will flag anything we notice during the clean.

What do you clean inside the unit?

We clean the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and internal casing. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.

Does the AHU have to be shut down for cleaning?

Yes. Cleaning needs the unit off and isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.

Do you clean the ductwork as well?

Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can survey both on the same visit.

How we price AHU cleaning

The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:

  • The scale of the work
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • The condition of the system

What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What to send for a quote

What to send for a quote:

  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

When it’s something else

We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what AHU cleaning will not do:

  • Leaking heating or cooling coils
  • Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
  • Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place

Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
