AHU cleaning in Hedsor

Looking after it afterwards

How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:

  • Make sure condensate is draining away
  • Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear
  • Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
  • Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order

You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.

Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hedsor

No two plant rooms are the same, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. Every job starts with a survey, from pictures or on site, followed by a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. If you are dealing with condensate trays that won’t empty and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned, we can put it right, from heating and cooling coils, internal panels and dampers and louvres onwards.

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

Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When it’s something else

To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:

  • Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
  • Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
  • Controls and BMS settings that run the unit

If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

Ventilation in Hedsor buildings

Food Standards Agency records list about 6 schools, colleges and universities, about 8 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 3 hotels and guest houses registered as food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Hedsor. Buildings like these often rely on mechanical ventilation, which TR19® Air covers. About 3.6 miles west of Hedsor is Marlow Community Hospital, the nearest hospital. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too. We cover Hedsor, about 26 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.

Healthcare buildings such as Marlow Community Hospital, about 3.6 miles west, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Hedsor, yours matters too.

How it works

Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Hedsor.

  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. Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
  5. We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand

Getting a quote

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Hedsor questions

Can you clean school ventilation in Hedsor during the holidays?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 6 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Hedsor. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.

Do you cover smaller places like Hedsor?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hedsor is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

Do you work evenings or weekends?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and weekends, so offices, schools and shops can carry on.

How long does an AHU clean take?

It takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and the quote will give you a clear idea.

What if parts of the system can’t be reached?

We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

Will you repair the fan or motor?

AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report for your maintenance team to follow up.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

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

For landlords and multi-site operators

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

When to call us in Hedsor

Filters that are not changed or cleaned on time clog up, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.

What we are most often called out for:

  • Units that have only ever had filter changes
  • Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
  • Air handling units with blocked filters
  • Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake

School buildings such as St Paul's Church of England Combined School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

What your quote should include

  • Whether VAT is included
  • What records you’ll receive afterwards
  • Whether the price is fixed
  • Whether they’re fully insured

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Different parts, different methods

Internal casing and panels

The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.

Drain trays

Older trays can corrode and start leaking. We record their condition with pictures so repairs can be planned.

Leave it or put it right?

Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. The result is extra wear and a building that does not feel as comfortable, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. Somewhere as small as Hedsor, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Why us?

  • Full insurance on every job
  • A fixed price before any work starts
  • Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
  • One number for every site across the South East and London
