AHU cleaning for sites in Shermanbury

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shermanbury

Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. If you are dealing with drain trays holding standing water and dirty filters cutting the airflow, we can put it right, from filter sections, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils onwards.

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

We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Shermanbury

Do you offer AHU cleaning in Shermanbury?

Yes. Our area runs across London and the South East, Shermanbury included. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with a few photos of the system.

Is Shermanbury within the area you cover?

Yes. Shermanbury is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Where does the waste go?

We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.

How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?

Typically the clean takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. We plan the shutdown around that, including evenings or weekends.

Do you give a certificate after the clean?

Yes, both a certificate and a report with pictures. It includes a recommended date for the next check.

What do you clean inside the unit?

We clean the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and internal casing. Filters are cleaned or changed as agreed in the quote.

Do you survey before quoting?

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

What do you do to protect the area?

Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

Leave it or put it right?

Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. A TR19® certificate and photo report give you that, ready to show anyone who asks. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Part by part

Filters

Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. The filter section is cleaned so new or cleaned filters sit properly.

Fans and fan sections

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

What AHU cleaning can’t fix

AHU cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:

  • Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
  • Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
  • Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean

If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on in Shermanbury

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

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning

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

  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • How big the system is
  • What state the system is in
  • Travel, parking and unloading

Combining work into one visit or one programme 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

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:

  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Need a price for AHU cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Book the next check in line with the report
  • Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
  • Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
  • Report stiff or damaged access doors

The report suggests a date for the next inspection or clean, taking into account how dirty it was. TR19® Air is risk-based, so the interval depends on the unit and how the building is used.

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

The process

We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, 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. For a village or hamlet like Shermanbury, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.

  1. We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
  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

  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Ask for a quote

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
