When to call us in Skye Green
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Dirty filters cutting the airflow
- Dirty coils holding back the airflow
- Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover
- Dirty fans and fan housings
An inspection comes first for any ventilation job around Skye Green, so the cleaning matches what’s there.

AHU cleaning in Skye Green, done properly
Think of an AHU clean as a full check-up for the ventilation. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so the report shows exactly what was done. If you’re dealing with rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and condensate trays that won’t empty, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Skye Green, ducted ventilation is normally limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Ventilation in Skye Green buildings
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 3 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) serving food across Skye Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. At about 43 miles from central London, Skye Green sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Wherever a school like Honywood Community Science School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Watch for drips or damp patches near the plant
- Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
- Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
- Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
How the job changes from site to site
Heating and cooling coils
Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. They’re cleaned using methods that won’t bend or flatten the fins.
Drain trays
Older trays can corrode and start leaking. Their condition goes into the report with photos so you can decide on any repairs.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Skye Green questions
Can you work in Skye Green outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Skye Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Skye Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Skye Green is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. 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.
Is there a report after cleaning?
Yes, both a certificate and a report with photos. It includes a recommended date for the next check.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What do you clean inside the unit?
Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.
What happens if it’s left?
Dirty coils and fans make the unit strain to move the same air. That means more wear on the motor and rooms that feel less fresh, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. Somewhere as small as Skye Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What affects the quote in Skye Green
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
