AHU cleaning near Primrose Hill

About our AHU cleaning in Primrose Hill

Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. If you have filters that are clogged or overdue and fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years, we can put it right, from drain trays, internal panels and filter sections onwards.

In London, plant rooms are often in basements or on roofs reached through occupied floors, so ventilation cleaning in Primrose Hill is typically planned out of hours. Parking and loading are agreed with the building in advance.

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

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

Honest limits

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what AHU cleaning will not do:

  • Building management system faults
  • Damaged coils beyond cleaning
  • Airflow problems caused by the system’s design

If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Parts of the system we cover

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

Leave it or put it right?

When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the ducts and grilles stay cleaner between cleans. That makes the next inspection of a building in Primrose Hill simpler. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.

You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Primrose Hill

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • What state the system is in
  • The scale of the work

Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Helping us quote

What to send for a quote:

  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it

For AHU cleaning in Primrose Hill, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

What we do, step by step

Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Primrose Hill.

  1. The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
  2. We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
  3. Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
  4. We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
  5. We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Find the previous report, if there is one

How the job changes from site to site

Rooftop and plant room units

Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. Access is planned during the survey, before we quote.

Fans and fan sections

Every bit of air passes the fan, so a dirty fan sends dirt downstream. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.

FAQs for Primrose Hill

Do you work at weekends in Primrose Hill?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Primrose Hill keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

What do you need to know about parking in Primrose Hill?

Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Primrose Hill, and about any building rules on loading. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.

Will the ventilation be off while you clean?

Yes, for the time we are working on it. We can work evenings, overnight or at weekends to keep disruption down.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.

What information do you need?

Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What is TR19?

TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

What does AHU cleaning cost?

It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
