How we handle AHU cleaning in Hatchford

Heating and cooling coils trap dust that gets past the filters. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. If you have intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, we can help.

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

Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning

There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:

  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • The condition of the system

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

What to send for a quote

To speed up the quote, please include:

  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What happens on the day

Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Visits to a village like Hatchford are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.

  1. We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
  2. We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
  3. We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
  4. The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
  5. After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us where we can park and unload
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand

How to get a quote

To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Advice

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 hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

Common questions in Hatchford

Can the work in Hatchford be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Hatchford does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Can you get to a site in Hatchford?

Yes. Hatchford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

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, and the quote follows that.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

What accreditations do you have?

BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.

Do you repair air handling units?

Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. Any faults we notice are recorded so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.

When to call us in Hatchford

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 Hatchford, that’s air they breathe for hours at a time.

What we’re most often called out for:

  • Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
  • Condensate trays that will not empty
  • Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
  • Dust built up on fan impellers

Classrooms and halls at schools such as St Matthew's CofE Aided Infant School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

Before you book anyone

  • When the next visit should be, and why
  • What hours they’ll be on site
  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • Whether VAT is included

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

AHU cleaning in Hatchford: local notes

What a clean won’t put right

Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:

  • Leaking heating or cooling coils
  • Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
  • Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place

If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Where we work

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

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.

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.

Part by part

Heating and cooling coils

Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.

Fans and fan sections

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