About our AHU cleaning in St Mary Bourne

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, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. If you have intake sections clogged with outdoor debris and air handling units due a clean after building work, we can help, from drain trays, filter sections and heating and cooling coils onwards.

Work in a small place like St Mary Bourne starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.

Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:

  • Report musty smells from the vents straight away
  • Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
  • Report stiff or damaged access doors
  • Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away

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. What’s near the intake ends up in the unit.

Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in St Mary Bourne

There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:

  • Parking and loading at the site
  • The number of sites or systems
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing

We do not 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 will explain what it covers.

What we need to know

To speed up the quote, please include:

  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Any previous report or certificate
  • A few general shots of the system
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

St Mary Bourne questions

Can you get to a site in St Mary Bourne?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and St Mary Bourne is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Can ventilation in schools around St Mary Bourne be cleaned out of term?

Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of St Mary Bourne, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.

When should our AHU next be cleaned?

Inspection under TR19® Air decides it. A hard-working unit, or one serving a hospital or care home, may need cleaning more often.

What types of premises do you cover?

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

What do you clean inside the unit?

Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from intake to discharge, including coils, fan and drain trays. The photo report shows each section before and after.

Is there a report after cleaning?

Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, with any faults we noticed.

Can you price the work without visiting?

Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.

Will the ventilation be off while you clean?

Yes. The fan must be stopped and the unit isolated, so we plan it for a time that suits the building.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to St Mary Bourne and turn up when the site is quiet.

  1. We survey the unit from pictures or on site and agree what’s included.
  2. The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
  3. Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
  4. Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
  5. A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Getting a quote

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Different parts, different methods

Fans and fan sections

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

Drain trays

Condensate from the coil drips into a tray beneath it. Standing water and slime are removed and the outlet is checked.

What your team can do, and what needs us

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’s our job.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.

What we’re called out for in St Mary Bourne

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:

  • Filters that are clogged or overdue
  • Units that have only ever had filter changes
  • Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
  • Dirty fans and fan housings

School buildings such as St Mary Bourne Primary School are typically done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed
  • Whether they recommend a next date
  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
