AHU cleaning across Soldridge

How we handle AHU cleaning in Soldridge

No two plant rooms are the same, whether it’s a compact unit in a ceiling void or a big unit on the roof. We look at the unit first, from photos or a site visit, and give you a fixed quote, so you know where you stand. If you have odours coming through the supply air and dirty fans and fan housings, we can help, from drain trays, dampers and louvres and internal panels onwards.

In a village or hamlet like Soldridge, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How we price AHU cleaning

Your quote is based on your site. We consider:

  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • The scale of the work
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • Travel, parking and unloading

A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.

What to send for a quote

What to send for a quote:

  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Need a price for AHU cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.

Aftercare tips

How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:

  • Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
  • Clear leaves and litter away from the intake
  • Do not ignore odours coming through the grilles
  • Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away

You receive a TR19® certificate and a photo report after the clean. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.

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

Why deal with it now?

A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. The result is extra wear and a building that doesn’t feel as comfortable, and a planned clean is far less disruptive than a breakdown. It’s simpler to plan the work at Soldridge now than to arrange it in a hurry later.

We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.

Soldridge questions

Do you work overnight in Soldridge?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Soldridge does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Can you get to a site in Soldridge?

Yes, Soldridge is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Where does the waste go?

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.

What does TR19 mean?

BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.

Are you accredited?

CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.

How much does AHU cleaning cost in Soldridge?

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. For a village or hamlet like Soldridge, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.

  1. First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
  2. Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
  3. We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
  4. We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
  5. We take after photos and issue the certificate and report.

Preparing for the visit

  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

When to call us in Soldridge

Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. That means a unit can tick every service box and still be carrying years of dirt.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • Odours coming through the supply air
  • Air handling units with blocked filters
  • Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
  • Dirty coils holding back the airflow

For buildings in and around Soldridge, TR19® Air cleaning starts with an inspection.

Comparing quotes

  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • Proof of insurance
  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
