What the work involves, part by part

Access doors and panels are opened in turn and closed properly afterwards, and check every one is shut.
Rooftop and plant room units
Many AHUs sit on roofs or in plant rooms with limited access. Access is planned during the survey, before we quote.
AHU cleaning in Palmer's Green, done properly
A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. When the drain blocks, water sits there and the tray turns slimy, in the airstream that feeds the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. We’re often asked to deal with rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, on drain trays, filter sections and heating and cooling coils.
In a village or hamlet like Palmer's Green, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
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
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Keep filter changes on time and recorded
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.
Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.
Leave it or put it right?
Standing water in a drain tray doesn’t clear itself. Left alone, it can overflow, leak into the plant area or ceiling below and spread smells through the system. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. With notice, the visit to Palmer's Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.

What affects the quote in Palmer's Green
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
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 pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
