AHU cleaning in Marley

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Marley

The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, with the unit switched off and made safe first. Common call-outs are for leaves and litter drawn into the unit and dirty fans and fan housings, on internal panels, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans.

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

Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How we price AHU cleaning

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:

  • Parking and loading at the site
  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • The size of the system
  • What state the system is in

You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.

Helping us quote

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

  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Problems your staff have spotted

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Part by part

Heating and cooling coils

Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.

Fans and fan sections

Before the fan is touched, the unit is shut down and made safe with your site team.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Marley?

Filters that are not changed or cleaned on time clog up, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

  • Coils clogged with dust and debris
  • Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
  • Air handling units due a clean after building work
  • Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake

If you manage a school such as Harrietsham Church of England Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • Proof of insurance
  • Whether they recommend a next date

Questions to ask before booking

Why deal with it now?

If people in a building in Marley complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. A clean tackles the source instead of masking it. Planning a trip to Marley ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Marley questions

Can you get to a site in Marley?

Yes, Marley is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Marley in the summer holidays?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Marley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 6 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.

Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?

Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. We’ll tell you after the survey whether the ducts need it.

How much notice should we give?

For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.

How often do AHUs need cleaning?

That is set by inspection, in line with TR19® Air. Units in heavy use or in sensitive buildings may need attention more often.

What do you clean inside the unit?

We clean the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and internal casing. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.

What we do, step by step

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Marley can be planned properly.

  1. First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
  2. We take before photos of each section of the unit.
  3. We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
  4. The fan and drain tray are cleaned and the drain checked.
  5. We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
