Green Street Green: your questions answered

What do you need to know about parking in Green Street Green?

Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Green Street Green, and about any building rules on loading. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.

Can ventilation in schools around Green Street Green be cleaned out of term?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 7 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Green Street Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.

When should our AHU next be cleaned?

There’s no single answer; it comes down to the building and the unit. Regular inspection shows when it’s due, and we’ll suggest an interval after the first clean.

What should I send you?

Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What’s included in an AHU clean?

Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. Filters are cleaned or changed as agreed in the quote.

Where does the waste go?

Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.

Is there a report after cleaning?

Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.

About our AHU cleaning in Green Street Green

If the units serving a building in Green Street Green have only had filter changes for years, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. If you have dirty coils holding back the airflow and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, we can put it right.

London buildings often depend on air handling units in plant rooms or on the roof to supply fresh air. In a building in Green Street Green, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time, which is what TR19® Air cleaning deals with.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why deal with it now?

Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, especially where there’s been moisture. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Green Street Green

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

What affects the quote in Green Street Green

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

  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits

You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.

Asking for a quote

What to send for a quote:

  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Any previous report or certificate
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see

Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

When to call us in Green Street Green

Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

  • Air handling units due a clean after building work
  • Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
  • Condensate trays that will not empty
  • Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris

For schools like Green Street Green Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Green Street Green buildings and their air

The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 7 schools, colleges and universities and about 9 care, childcare and hospital premises with registered kitchens or food service within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Green Street Green. Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. In London, ventilation plant is often on the roof or below ground, so the work is typically done out of hours. For Green Street Green, the closest hospital is Orpington Hospital, roughly 0.8 miles north-east. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes.

If you manage shops or offices close to Chelsfield station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning. Hospitals such as Orpington Hospital (about 0.8 miles north-east) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Green Street Green are no different.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Some jobs should never be done in-house: 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.

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, alongside our reports.

What a clean won’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
  • Leaking heating or cooling coils
  • Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings

Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on in Green Street Green

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

What we do, step by step

Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. If your building in Green Street Green has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Let us know about parking and loading
