AHU cleaning near Hattingley

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hattingley

An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. The work covers supply and extract fans, internal panels and filter sections, and people most often call us about dust-coated heating and cooling coils and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover.

For a building in or near Hattingley, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.

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

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Hattingley

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:

  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • The times the site is available
  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • How many systems or sites are involved

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Helping us quote

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:

  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Any previous report or certificate

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

Keeping the system healthy

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Report musty smells from the vents straight away
  • Stick to the filter change plan
  • Report water on the plant room floor
  • Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits

If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can quote for both.

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

How the job changes from site to site

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.

Internal casing and panels

Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. Anything like that is recorded with photos.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Hattingley

Do you cover Hattingley for AHU cleaning?

Yes, we work in Hattingley and the places around it. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few pictures of the system.

Is Hattingley within the area you cover?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hattingley is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.

Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?

Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted.

What information do you need?

A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.

How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?

Cleaning takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Large plant can be split over several shifts, so call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email to talk it through.

What if parts of the system cannot be reached?

They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Can you clean without disrupting the building?

Yes, wherever it helps the building. We plan the shutdown window with you.

The process

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. The timing of a visit to Hattingley is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.

  1. First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
  2. The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
  3. Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
  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 photos.

Preparing for the visit

  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
