AHU Cleaning in Russ Hill

Leave it or put it right?
Standing water in a drain tray does not 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. In a place like Russ Hill, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

AHU cleaning in Russ Hill
We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after photos in a report. If you have coils clogged with dust and debris and condensate trays that won’t empty, we can put it right, from drain trays, supply and extract fans and filter sections onwards.
In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Russ Hill
Do you work in villages like Russ Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can the work in Russ Hill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Russ Hill does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
How long will the unit be out of action?
As a guide, it takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. We plan the shutdown around that, out of hours if needed.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Do you repair air handling units?
AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.
Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted.
How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?
Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. We recommend a next date in each report.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. In a small place like Russ Hill, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
- We take before photos of each section of the unit.
- Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
- We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
- We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Internal casing and panels
Loose or damaged linings inside a unit can break up into the airstream. We note any we find in the report.
Heating and cooling coils
A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
- Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
- Report water on the plant room floor
- Make sure condensate is draining away
Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Log every change so it’s easy to see when the next is due.
Regular inspection under TR19® Air shows when cleaning is due, rather than waiting for a problem.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Building management system faults
- Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
