AHU cleaning for sites in Marden's Hill

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

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.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

AHU cleaning in Marden's Hill

Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Marden's Hill and the rest of East Sussex, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. Typical jobs include dust-coated heating and cooling coils and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, on heating and cooling coils, filter sections and drain trays.

For a building in or near Marden's Hill, 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.

We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

When to call us in Marden's Hill

Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Marden's Hill, that’s air they breathe for hours at a time.

Look out for these warning signs:

  • Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
  • Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
  • Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
  • Dirty coils holding back the airflow

For schools like St John's Church of England Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • Proof of insurance
  • What hours they’ll be on site
  • What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed

Marden's Hill questions

Do you work at weekends in Marden's Hill?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Marden's Hill can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Can you do AHU cleaning in Marden's Hill?

Yes, Marden's Hill is covered. Get in touch with the details and we’ll arrange a survey.

How much does AHU cleaning cost?

We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.

What about areas you can’t get to?

The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Do you repair air handling units?

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 price the work without visiting?

Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.

Leave it or put it right?

When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. That makes the next inspection of a building in Marden's Hill simpler. If the system at a site near Marden's Hill fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.

Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Why book with us

  • Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
  • A written report with pictures after each visit
  • One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
  • CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

Between visits

Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Make sure condensate is draining away
  • Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
  • Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
  • Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles

If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can survey both.

Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.

What AHU cleaning can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:

  • Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
  • Faulty motors, drives or bearings
  • Airflow problems caused by the system’s design

If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

Where we work

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

How it works

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. In a small place like Marden's Hill, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.

  1. We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
  2. We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
  3. Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
  4. Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
  5. We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.

How to prepare

  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Clear the space around the work

Getting a quote

We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Advice

How we price AHU cleaning

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:

  • What state the system is in
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Asking for a quote

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

  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • A few general shots of the system
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site

Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
