What affects the quote in Ivychurch
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
About our AHU cleaning in Ivychurch
All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, with the unit switched off and made safe first. If you are dealing with rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and drain trays holding standing water, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Ivychurch, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
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, and that’s where we come in.
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Ivychurch
Air handling units are typically tucked away on roofs, in plant rooms or above ceilings, so they’re easy to forget about. Months can pass without anyone looking inside.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
Around Ivychurch, an air handling unit’s drain tray is checked for standing water as a matter of course.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What hours they’ll be on site

Why act early in Ivychurch
Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, particularly where damp has made it stick. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Why us?

Ivychurch questions
Can you work in Ivychurch outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Ivychurch does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you work in villages like Ivychurch?
Yes. Ivychurch is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What does AHU cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
That is set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.
How the job changes from site to site
Heating and cooling coils
Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. We protect the area below before opening them.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. The timing of a visit to Ivychurch is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- The area is protected and the unit made safe.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
- We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear the space around the work
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 we can price many jobs without a visit.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
- Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
- Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, based on what we found. Under TR19® Air the timing is set by inspection and risk, not a fixed calendar.
Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. A drain that is cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
