AHU cleaning near Hedgerley

Different parts, different methods

Filters

Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. We photograph them for the report.

Fans and fan sections

Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.

AHU cleaning in Hedgerley

Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Hedgerley and the rest of Slough, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. If you’re dealing with stale or musty smells from the ventilation and air handling units with blocked filters, we can put it right.

Work in a small place like Hedgerley starts with agreeing access and timings.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How it works

Everything the job needs comes with us, 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 one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Hedgerley can be planned properly.

  1. We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
  2. Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
  3. Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
  4. We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
  5. After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Getting a quote

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Advice

Keeping the system healthy

Once we have finished, these simple steps help:

  • Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
  • Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
  • Report musty smells from the vents right away
  • Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records

Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.

Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.

If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

How we price AHU cleaning

There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:

  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • What state the system is in
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Helping us quote

Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:

  • Any previous report or certificate
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see

If you need AHU cleaning in Hedgerley, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.

What staff can safely do

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.

Can you clean school ventilation in Hedgerley during the holidays?

Are you fully insured?

Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.

How long does an AHU clean take?

Expect it to take one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Size, layout and how dirty it is decide the rest, and we will confirm the time when we quote.

When to call us in Hedgerley

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
  • Air handling units never cleaned inside
  • Air handling units due a clean after building work
  • Coils clogged with dust and debris

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

Before booking anyone

  • Exactly which parts of the system are covered
  • Whether they recommend a next date
  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
