AHU cleaning near High Cross

Between visits

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

  • Do not store bins or materials near the intake
  • Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
  • Make sure condensate is draining away
  • Book the next check in line with the report

The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, taking into account how dirty it was. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.

Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due instead of leaving it to guesswork.

AHU cleaning in High Cross, done properly

Our AHU cleans for sites in High Cross cover the parts that collect dirt: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. If you have rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and filters that are clogged or overdue, we can help.

Somewhere as small as High Cross, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.

A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in High Cross

An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and the finer material travels on.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
  • Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
  • Coils clogged with dust and debris
  • Units that have only ever had filter changes

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

Our hiring checklist

Leave it or put it right?

A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, particularly where damp has made it stick. If the system at a site near High Cross fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What you get with us

  • In business since 2009
  • A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
  • Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
  • Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

What affects the quote in High Cross

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:

  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • The scale of the work

Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

What we need to know

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Your last certificate, test record or report

The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

When something else is needed

We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what AHU cleaning won’t do:

  • Leaking heating or cooling coils
  • Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
  • Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings

If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on in High Cross

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

High Cross questions

Can you work in High Cross outside opening hours?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in High Cross needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

Can you get to a site in High Cross?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, High Cross included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Is there a report after cleaning?

Yes. You get a TR19® certificate plus before and after photos. Keep them in the maintenance log.

Will the ventilation be off while you clean?

Yes. The unit has to be shut down and isolated before it’s opened. We agree the timing with your site team.

Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?

Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.

Is a quote from photos possible?

In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.

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 talk you through the next steps.

The process

We’re used to working while the site is closed. 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 from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to High Cross.

  1. We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
  2. We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
  3. Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
  4. The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
  5. We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site

We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What staff can safely do

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
