What the work involves, part by part

Rooftop and plant room units
Ceiling-mounted and compact units are cleaned too. We protect the area below before opening them.
AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Mountain Street
Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. Dirt on the fins holds back air and makes the unit work harder to do the same job. We clean coils with methods suited to their condition, taking care not to damage the fins. Common call-outs are for filters that are clogged or overdue and leaves and litter drawn into the unit, across drain trays, heating and cooling coils and filter sections.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Change filters on schedule and log each change
When we’ve closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to make sure it stays clear.
Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Can you look after several sites?

Which sectors do you work in?
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.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

Advice
Why act early in Mountain Street
A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. It also means the next inspection has less to find. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
