Your questions about AHU cleaning in Sevenscore

Can you do AHU cleaning in Sevenscore?

Yes, Sevenscore is within the area we cover across London and the South East. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few photos of the system.

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

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Sevenscore can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Will the ventilation be off while you clean?

Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, and we time the work to suit the site.

Do you give a certificate after the clean?

Yes, both a certificate and a report with photos. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.

What’s included in an AHU clean?

Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. The photo report shows each section before and after.

What information do you need?

The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.

How we handle AHU cleaning in Sevenscore

Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. Common call-outs are for dirty fans and fan housings and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake, on dampers and louvres, heating and cooling coils and internal panels.

Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:

  • Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
  • Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
  • Faulty motors, drives or bearings

Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

What staff can safely do

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

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, which is where we come in.

Different parts, different methods

Internal casing and panels

Access doors and panels are opened in turn and closed properly afterwards, and check every one is shut.

Fans and fan sections

Build-up on fan blades can upset the balance and add wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.

Why deal with it now?

Tenants, auditors and owners may want proof that the air handling plant is kept clean. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, for audits, tenants or your own peace of mind. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.

The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Keeping the system healthy

Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:

  • Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
  • Report musty smells from the vents right away
  • Report stiff or damaged access doors
  • Book the next check in line with the report

Keep filter changes on schedule between cleans, because good filters protect everything downstream. Record each change in the maintenance log.

Do not let leaves, litter or stored materials build up near the fresh air intake. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Sevenscore and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

How the visit works

Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Sevenscore knowing what to expect.

  1. We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
  2. The area is protected and the unit made safe.
  3. Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
  4. Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
  5. We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Clear loose items from the work area

Get a fixed quote

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
