AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Marehill

We clean air handling units for buildings in Marehill and across West Sussex, working to TR19® Air, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. If you are dealing with fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and dust-coated heating and cooling coils, we can help.

In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.

Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

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.

The process

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Marehill 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. Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
  4. We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
  5. The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice

Different parts, different methods

Fans and fan sections

The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. The impeller, its housing and the fan chamber are cleaned.

Heating and cooling coils

Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. We clean them with care so the fins are not damaged.

Questions from Marehill

Is AHU cleaning available in Marehill?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Marehill is part of that. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day of the survey details.

Can the work in Marehill be done at night or at weekends?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Marehill doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.

What do you do to protect the area?

By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.

What about areas you can’t get to?

They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

What do you need from me for a quote?

The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.

How often do AHUs need cleaning?

TR19® Air takes a risk-based approach, so it depends on inspection rather than a fixed interval. We recommend a next date in each report.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Marehill?

Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray does not fall properly, water stands in it, and slime and smells soon follow.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • Condensate trays that will not empty
  • Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
  • Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
  • Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs

School buildings such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning

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

  • How easy every part is to reach
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Asking for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:

  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is

For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
