Different parts, different methods

Filters

What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. They’re photographed before and after for your records.

Heating and cooling coils

Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.

AHU cleaning in Plaitford Green

The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dirt on the impeller and housing gets spread around. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, with the unit switched off and made safe first. If you have fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake, we can help.

Work in a small place like Plaitford Green starts with agreeing access and timings.

The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.

What should I send you?

Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.

All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

What accreditations do you have?

We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.

What affects the quote in Plaitford Green

There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:

  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • The condition we find in the survey

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

What to send for a quote

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:

  • The postcode and the type of business
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it

We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Plaitford Green?

No filter stops everything. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, building up layer by layer.

Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
  • Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
  • Units that have only ever had filter changes
  • Air handling units with blocked filters

If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Plaitford Green, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Romsey Community Hospital (about 4.9 miles east).

What to look for in a quote

  • If they look at the system before pricing
  • Whether the price is fixed
  • What hours they’ll be on site
  • What’s included in the scope, part by part
