AHU cleaning across Motspur Park

About our AHU cleaning in Motspur Park

A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, right in the path of the air going into the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. We’re often asked to deal with plant that needs cleaning after a refit and filters that are clogged or overdue, across supply and extract fans, filter sections and dampers and louvres.

London buildings often depend on air handling units in plant rooms or on the roof to supply fresh air. In a building in Motspur Park, dust and debris build up in the units and ductwork over time, which is what TR19® Air cleaning deals with.

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

Managing agents and facilities teams in Motspur Park

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Keeping the system healthy

Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:

  • Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
  • Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
  • Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
  • Book the next check in line with the report

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

Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.

AHU cleaning in Motspur Park: local notes

There are about 27 schools, colleges and universities, about 42 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 4 hotels and B&Bs on the FSA’s food hygiene register in and around Motspur Park, up to about a mile and a half out. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. Atkinson Morley Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 0.8 miles north-east of Motspur Park. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital. In London, ventilation plant is often on the roof or below ground, so the work is typically done out of hours.

Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Atkinson Morley Hospital (about 0.8 miles north-east) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts. If you manage a school such as St Matthew's CofE Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

Different parts, different methods

Internal casing and panels

The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.

Filters

Clogged filters reduce airflow, and dirt can get round the edges. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.

Why deal with it now?

Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt doesn’t stay put. It moves on into the ductwork and out into the rooms, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. In Motspur Park, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Motspur Park

Filters catch most of the dust, but not all of it. The fine dust that passes the filters lands on the coils, the fan and the internal panels, a little more each month.

Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
  • Dirty coils holding back the airflow
  • Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
  • Odours coming through the supply air

If you run an office near New Malden station, its supply ductwork can gather dust for years before anyone looks inside.

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

The process

We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Motspur Park.

  1. First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
  2. We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
  3. Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
  4. Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
  5. A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Common questions in Motspur Park

Can you come to Motspur Park after we close?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Motspur Park can fit around your hours. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.

Can a school’s ventilation in Motspur Park be done out of term time?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Motspur Park, the Food Standards Agency lists about 27 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.

How often do AHUs need cleaning?

Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.

How much notice should we give?

It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.

Can you price the work without visiting?

Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.

What types of premises do you cover?

Commercial premises of every kind: 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.

What does AHU cleaning cost?

We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.

When it’s something else

AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It does not solve:

  • Building management system faults
  • Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
  • Airflow problems caused by the system’s design

If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
