AHU cleaning in Ludgershall

No two plant rooms are the same, from a small ceiling-mounted unit to a large rooftop plant. Every job starts with a survey, from pictures or on site, followed by a fixed quote before any cleaning starts. The work covers filter sections, internal panels and dampers and louvres, and the jobs we see most are air handling units with blocked filters and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover.

For a building in or near Ludgershall, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.

A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

What a clean will not put right

We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:

  • Damaged coils beyond cleaning
  • Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
  • Airflow problems caused by the system’s design

If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

Parts of the system we cover

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

What we do, step by step

The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones, and we clear up before we go. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Ludgershall.

  1. First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
  2. We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
  3. Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
  4. We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
  5. After photos are taken and the certificate issued.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Clear the space around the work

How to get a quote

What happens if it’s left?

Standing water in a drain tray does not clear itself. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. Somewhere as small as Ludgershall, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:

  • Make sure condensate is draining away
  • Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
  • File each AHU report in the maintenance log
  • Diary the inspection date recommended in the report

You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.

Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Buckinghamshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

Common problems we fix in Ludgershall

Whatever surrounds a building in Ludgershall, 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:

  • Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
  • Dirty filters cutting the airflow
  • Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
  • Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris

If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Ludgershall, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Bicester Community Hospital (about 5.8 miles north-west).
