Keeping the system healthy

So the system stays in good health:

  • Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
  • Change filters on schedule and log each change
  • Note any water around the unit or leaks below it
  • Book the next check in line with the report

Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.

Keep the area around the intake clear. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.

AHU cleaning in Rolvenden Layne, done properly

An air handling unit is the heart of a building’s ventilation: it draws air in, filters it, heats or cools it and pushes it round the ductwork. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. The work covers supply and extract fans, drain trays and filter sections, and common reasons people get in touch are odours coming through the supply air and air handling units never cleaned inside.

Work in a small place like Rolvenden Layne starts with agreeing access and timings.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How we price AHU cleaning

The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:

  • The size of the system
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • A single visit or a regular plan

You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

What we need to know

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is

If you need AHU cleaning in Rolvenden Layne, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.

For landlords and multi-site operators

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

What staff can safely do

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Different parts, different methods

Drain trays

Drain trays can rust and leak over time. Their condition goes into the report with pictures so repairs can be planned.

Internal casing and panels

The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. We clean each section from intake to discharge.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Rolvenden Layne

Filters that are not changed or cleaned on time clog up, cutting airflow and sometimes letting dirty air bypass them altogether. Then the rest of the unit takes the load.

Common reasons sites call us are:

  • Units that have only ever had filter changes
  • Air handling units due a clean after building work
  • Dirty filters cutting the airflow
  • Leaves and litter drawn into the unit

Benenden Hospital, about 3.3 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Rolvenden Layne, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.

Questions to ask before you book

Questions to ask before booking

Questions from Rolvenden Layne

Do you work at weekends in Rolvenden Layne?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Rolvenden Layne doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

Can you get to a site in Rolvenden Layne?

Yes. Rolvenden Layne is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?

Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, with new panels fitted where needed.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.

What about areas you can’t get to?

Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

What is TR19?

It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.

How long does an AHU clean take?

The work takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Large plant can be split over several shifts, so give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line to talk it through.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Somewhere as small as Rolvenden Layne, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.

  1. We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
  2. With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
  3. We clean or change the filters as agreed, then clean the coils, fan and internal panels.
  4. Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
  5. A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.

How to prepare

  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Getting a quote

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
