Questions from Manwood Green

Can the work in Manwood Green be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Manwood Green can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.

Do you offer AHU cleaning in Manwood Green?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Manwood Green is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we will arrange a survey.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.

Do you clean the ductwork as well?

Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, with new panels fitted where necessary.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.

Can you fix a faulty AHU?

Motors, belts, controls and coils that need repair are a job for your maintenance contractor. We clean the unit and report anything we see that needs attention.

Can you quote from photos?

In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.

Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?

Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.

AHU cleaning in Manwood Green

Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. Typical jobs include plant that has been serviced but not cleaned and condensate trays that won’t empty, on drain trays, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils.

Somewhere as small as Manwood Green, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.

Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How we price AHU cleaning

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:

  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • How many systems or sites are involved

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. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What to send for a quote

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:

  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

For AHU cleaning in Manwood Green, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.

Honest limits

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:

  • Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
  • Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
  • Leaking heating or cooling coils

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

What the work covers

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

Managing agents and facilities teams in Manwood Green

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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we are done, and check every one is shut.

Filters

What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. They’re photographed before and after for your records.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Manwood Green

Filters that aren’t changed or cleaned on time clog up, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.

Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
  • Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
  • Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
  • Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned

Around Manwood Green, an air handling unit’s drain tray is checked for standing water as a matter of course.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
  • How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
  • How they set the interval to the next visit
  • What paperwork you get at the end

Leave it or put it right?

A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. The result is extra wear and a building that doesn’t feel as comfortable, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Why book with us

How the visit works

Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Somewhere as small as Manwood Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.

  1. We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
  2. The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
  3. Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
  4. Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
  5. We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Let us know about parking and loading
