AHU cleaning for sites in Lodge Lees

AHU cleaning in Lodge Lees, done properly

An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with photos, so the report shows exactly what was done. The work covers drain trays, internal panels and heating and cooling coils, and common reasons people get in touch are plant that needs cleaning after a refit and stale or musty smells from the ventilation.

Work in a small place like Lodge Lees starts with agreeing access and timings.

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

When something else is needed

AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:

  • Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
  • Leaking heating or cooling coils
  • Controls and BMS settings that run the unit

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

What the work covers

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

Lodge Lees questions

Is Lodge Lees in your area for AHU cleaning?

Yes, Lodge Lees is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details of the site.

Do you work overnight in Lodge Lees?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Lodge Lees does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.

What if parts of the system cannot be reached?

They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

Do you repair air handling units?

Our AHU work is cleaning rather than mechanical repair. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.

What happens on the day

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Lodge Lees, let us know and we will plan around it.

  1. We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
  2. We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
  3. Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
  4. Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
  5. The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.

How to prepare

  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Getting a quote

To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

  • The condition of the system
  • How big the system is
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are 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 to send for a quote

To speed up the quote, send us:

  • Any previous report or certificate
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • The postcode and the type of business

Need a price for AHU cleaning? Please ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few details about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.

Looking after it afterwards

After the visit, a few habits help the work last:

  • Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
  • Report stiff or damaged access doors
  • Change filters on schedule and log each change
  • Make sure condensate is draining away

When we have closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to make sure it stays clear.

Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.

Part by part

Internal casing and panels

Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. We note any we find in the report.

Filters

Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. The filter section is cleaned so new or cleaned filters sit properly.

Why act early in Lodge Lees

When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. It also means the next inspection has less to find. In a small place like Lodge Lees, a system that fails can take a site out of use.

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
