AHU cleaning across Milton Street

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Milton Street

All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. If you’re dealing with units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover and air handling units never cleaned inside, we can put it right, from supply and extract fans, filter sections and dampers and louvres onwards.

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

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Milton Street

The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:

  • The scale of the work
  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • The times the site is available

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Asking for a quote

When you contact us, these details help:

  • The postcode and the type of business
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Honest limits

AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:

  • Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
  • Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
  • Faulty motors, drives or bearings

If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Where we work

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

How it works

Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Milton Street run smoothly.

  1. The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
  2. The area is protected and the unit made safe.
  3. Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
  4. Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
  5. The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.

Preparing for the visit

  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.

School buildings such as Alfriston School are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

Common problems we fix in Milton Street

Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. A blocked outlet or a badly sloped tray leaves standing water, and slime and smells soon follow.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
  • Air handling units due a clean after building work
  • Odours coming through the supply air
  • Dust-coated heating and cooling coils

Healthcare buildings such as Eastbourne District General Hospital, about 4.4 miles south-east, depend on their ventilation; if you manage a surgery, clinic or care home near Milton Street, yours matters too.

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

What your team can do, and what needs us

Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

What happens to the waste?

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

What the work involves, part by part

Filters

Filter condition tells you a lot about the rest of the unit. They’re photographed before and after for your records.

Drain trays

Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.
