AHU cleaning near Peasmarsh

What your team can do, and what needs us

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Peasmarsh

We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. If you’re dealing with dust built up on fan impellers and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays, we can put it right, from drain trays, heating and cooling coils and dampers and louvres onwards.

In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.

We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Peasmarsh?

An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and some travels further into the unit.

Common reasons sites call us include:

  • Condensate trays that will not empty
  • Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris
  • Air handling units due a clean after building work
  • Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years

Around Peasmarsh, as anywhere, ventilation cleaning begins with an inspection.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What’s included in the scope, part by part
  • What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
  • Proof of insurance
  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

What happens if it’s left?

A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Dealing with it early keeps the clean straightforward. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Peasmarsh rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

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

Why book with us

  • A written report with pictures after every visit
  • CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
  • A fixed price before any work starts

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Peasmarsh

Can the work in Peasmarsh be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Can you do AHU cleaning in Peasmarsh?

Yes, Peasmarsh is covered. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day of the survey details.

Do you clean the ductwork as well?

Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.

What if parts of the system can’t be reached?

They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.

How far ahead should we book?

Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.

Can you fix a faulty AHU?

AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. Any faults we notice are recorded for your maintenance team to follow up.

What’s TR19?

BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

For landlords and multi-site operators

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.

Keeping the system healthy

How long the results last depends on use and 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
  • Report stiff or damaged access doors
  • Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it

Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after photos. Keep both with the building’s maintenance records.

Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.

What the work involves, part by part

Internal casing and panels

We open each section through its doors and close them securely when we’re done before the unit is handed back.

Rooftop and plant room units

Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.

What we do, step by step

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. 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 few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Peasmarsh.

  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. Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
  4. Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
  5. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Let us know about parking and loading
