Keeping the system healthy

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Make sure condensate is draining away
  • Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
  • Book the next check in line with the report
  • Keep filter changes on time and recorded

Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.

Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Mud Row

An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so the report shows exactly what was done. Typical jobs include dirty coils holding back the airflow and units that have only ever had filter changes, across dampers and louvres, filter sections and heating and cooling coils.

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

We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How we price AHU cleaning

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:

  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • The condition of the system
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • Travel, parking and unloading

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What we need to know

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it
  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

When it’s something else

In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:

  • Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer
  • Damaged coils beyond cleaning
  • Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself

If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Where we work

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

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Mud Row

It matters for two reasons: air quality, since the unit feeds occupied rooms, and performance, since dirt makes it strain. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Mud Row, that is air they breathe for hours at a time.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
  • Dust built up on fan impellers
  • Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
  • Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays

For buildings in and around Mud Row, TR19® Air cleaning starts with an inspection.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • How VAT is shown on the quote
  • If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate

Questions to ask before you book

What happens if it’s left?

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. A planned visit to Mud Row is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Part by part

Internal casing and panels

Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. We note any we find in the report.

Drain trays

Older trays can corrode and start leaking. Their condition goes into the report with pictures so you can decide on any repairs.

Questions from Mud Row

Will you come out to Mud Row?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Mud Row included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

Can you do AHU cleaning in Mud Row?

Yes, Mud Row is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Get in touch with the details and we will arrange a survey.

How long will the unit be out of action?

As a guide, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. We plan the shutdown around that, out of hours if needed.

How much notice should we give?

Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.

What about areas you can’t get to?

Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

Is a quote from pictures possible?

Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.

How much does AHU cleaning cost?

Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.

How it works

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Mud Row run smoothly.

  1. We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
  2. With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
  3. We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
  4. We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
  5. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
