When to call us in Nutfield

Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.

Look out for these warning signs:

  • Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
  • Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
  • Dust built up on fan impellers
  • Air handling units with blocked filters

Classrooms and halls at schools such as Nutfield Church CofE Primary School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Nutfield

Our AHU cleans for sites in Nutfield cover the parts that collect dirt: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after photos in a report. The work covers internal panels, drain trays and heating and cooling coils, and common reasons people get in touch are fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover.

Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.

Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What the work involves, part by part

Filters

Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. We clean the frames and rails so the filters sit tight.

Heating and cooling coils

Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.

When something else is needed

Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:

  • Controls and BMS settings that run the unit
  • Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
  • Faulty motors, drives or bearings

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Parts of the system we cover

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

Nutfield: your questions answered

Do you cover smaller places like Nutfield?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Nutfield included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Do you work at weekends in Nutfield?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Nutfield can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.

How much notice do you need?

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

Where does the waste go?

It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.

When should our AHU next be cleaned?

It depends on the unit, the filters and how the building is used. Inspection tells you when cleaning is needed, and we will suggest an interval after the first clean.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.

How much does AHU cleaning cost in Nutfield?

We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.

The process

Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. In a small place like Nutfield, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.

  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. Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
  4. Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
  5. We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Clear the space around the work
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Ask for a quote

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Advice

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

What staff can safely do

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

  • The size of the system
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • What state the system is in

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Asking for a quote

To help us quote quickly, please include:

  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
