How we handle AHU cleaning in Little Wittenham

All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. 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 plant that has been serviced but not cleaned and plant that needs cleaning after a refit, we can help.

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

The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we do, step by step

Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Little Wittenham can be planned properly.

  1. We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Let us know about parking and loading

Managing agents and facilities teams in Little Wittenham

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Little Wittenham

There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:

  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • The scale of the work

We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.

Helping us quote

When you contact us, it’s useful to have:

  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • A few general shots of the system

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Leave it or put it right?

When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. That makes the next inspection of a building in Little Wittenham simpler. With notice, the visit to Little Wittenham can be fitted around your bookings and events.

One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

Looking after it afterwards

Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
  • Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
  • Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
  • Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records

Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.

Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
