AHU cleaning in Ivybridge
Where a building in Ivybridge has had little more than filter changes, there may be dirt on the coils, fan and casing that nobody has looked at. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. We’re often asked to deal with odours coming through the supply air and dust built up on fan impellers, across internal panels, heating and cooling coils and drain trays.
London offices and flats often have ductwork added through successive refits, leaving sections that are hard to reach and seldom cleaned. In Ivybridge, as elsewhere, cleaning starts with an inspection of what’s there.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ivybridge
Dirt left in an air handling unit doesn’t stay in the unit. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, which is why the unit and the ducts are best cleaned together. A busy site in Ivybridge builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

When it’s something else
AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Ivybridge
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
Combining work into one visit or one programme 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
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Questions from Ivybridge
Do you work at weekends in Ivybridge?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Ivybridge keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Ivybridge?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
Do you give a certificate after the clean?
Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. They’re worth keeping with the plant records.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
When should our AHU next be cleaned?
It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Regular inspection shows when it’s due, and we will suggest an interval after the first clean.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How much does AHU cleaning cost in Ivybridge?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
Will the ventilation be off while you clean?
Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.
How the job changes from site to site
Rooftop and plant room units
Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. We protect the area below before opening them.
Drain trays
A tray that does not drain becomes a pool of stagnant water in the airstream. We clean it and note if the slope or the drain needs attention.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Ivybridge.
- We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
- We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
- We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
