AHU cleaning for sites in Horton-cum-Studley

Horton-cum-Studley questions

Can you come to Horton-cum-Studley after we close?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Horton-cum-Studley needn’t be disturbed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.

Can you do AHU cleaning in Horton-cum-Studley?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Horton-cum-Studley is part of that. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us what needs doing.

How long will the unit be out of action?

Typically the clean takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. We plan the shutdown around that, out of hours if needed.

Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?

Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.

How far ahead should we book?

That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.

Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?

Every section that collects dirt: filters, coils, tray, fan and panels. The survey confirms what’s in your unit before we quote.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.

What happens to the waste?

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.

About our AHU cleaning in Horton-cum-Studley

No two plant rooms are the same, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. We look at the unit first, from pictures or a site visit, and send you a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. The work covers heating and cooling coils, filter sections and supply and extract fans, and people most often call us about air handling units due a clean after building work and dirty filters cutting the airflow.

In a village or hamlet like Horton-cum-Studley, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.

A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

How it works

There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Horton-cum-Studley and turn up when the site is quiet.

  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. We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
  5. We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Getting a quote

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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.

When it’s something else

We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:

  • Leaking heating or cooling coils
  • Building management system faults
  • Airflow problems caused by the system’s design

If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.

Parts of the system we cover

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

What we are called out for in Horton-cum-Studley

Whatever surrounds a building in Horton-cum-Studley, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and the finer material travels on.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
  • Air handling units with blocked filters
  • Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
  • Units that have only ever had filter changes

In Horton-cum-Studley, we look inside the system before deciding what needs cleaning.

What to look for in a quote

  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • If they look at the system before pricing
  • What insurance they carry
  • What records you’ll receive afterwards

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Between visits

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
  • Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
  • Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
  • Do not store bins or materials near the intake

When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Check the drain tray is emptying over the first few days to confirm water is draining away.

Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.

Different parts, different methods

Drain trays

The drain tray collects water from the cooling coil. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.

Internal casing and panels

We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we’re done, and check every one is shut.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:

  • How easy every part is to reach
  • The condition of the system
  • The scale of the work
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends

Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

What to send for a quote

What to send for a quote:

  • A few general shots of the system
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
