How we handle AHU cleaning in Sevington

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. Whatever builds up inside it travels with that air, so cleaning the unit matters as much as cleaning the ducts. The work covers drain trays, heating and cooling coils and filter sections, and people most often call us about stale or musty smells from the ventilation and dirty coils holding back the airflow.

In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Sevington

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

  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Asking for a quote

When you call or email, these details help:

  • The site address and the type of premises
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.

What staff can safely do

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Part by part

Internal casing and panels

Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. We note any we find in the report.

Filters

Filters are the first line of defence in the unit. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and the housing around them is cleaned too.

How the visit works

When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it 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 Sevington knowing what to expect.

  1. The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
  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. The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Ask for a quote

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Sevington

No filter stops everything. What gets through settles on coils, fans and the inside of the casing, a little more each month.

Look out for these warning signs:

  • Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
  • Dirty fans and fan housings
  • Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
  • Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays

If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Sevington, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like William Harvey Hospital (about 0.9 miles north).

Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. About 0.9 miles north of Sevington is William Harvey Hospital, the nearest hospital.

When it’s something else

We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:

  • A system that is undersized for the building
  • Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
  • Building management system faults

Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What the work covers

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

Keeping the system healthy

Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:

  • Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
  • Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
  • Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
  • Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear

The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can survey both.

Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.
