How we handle AHU cleaning in Stelling Minnis

We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after photos in a report. The work covers internal panels, heating and cooling coils and filter sections, and common reasons people get in touch are blocked condensate drains and slimy trays and rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs.

Somewhere as small as Stelling Minnis, ducted ventilation is typically 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.

A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

What happens if it’s left?

Facilities teams are often asked for evidence that the ventilation is looked after. Our certificate and photo report give you clear evidence, ready to show anyone who asks. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.

No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What we do, step by step

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Stelling Minnis before we set off.

  1. We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
  2. The area is protected and the unit made safe.
  3. Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
  4. We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
  5. The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

What AHU cleaning can’t fix

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

  • Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
  • Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
  • Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on in Stelling Minnis

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

What we’re called out for in Stelling Minnis

Cooling coils create condensation, and that water has to go somewhere. If the drain tray outlet blocks or the tray doesn’t fall properly, water stands in it, and slime and smells soon follow.

Common reasons sites call us include:

  • Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
  • Dust built up on fan impellers
  • Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
  • Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs

If you manage a school such as Stelling Minnis Church of England Primary School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays.

Questions to ask before booking

  • If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
  • What paperwork you get at the end
  • How they set the interval to the next visit
  • What’s included in the scope, part by part

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Ventilation in Stelling Minnis buildings

At about 55 miles from central London, Stelling Minnis sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Kent and Canterbury Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 5.6 miles north of Stelling Minnis. If you run a surgery, clinic or care home, your ventilation deserves the same care as a hospital’s, on a smaller scale.

Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Kent and Canterbury Hospital (about 5.6 miles north) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

Stelling Minnis is about 6 miles south of Canterbury, in Kent. Across the CT4 area, we can carry out AHU cleaning at your premises. 922 places in Kent are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots. For sites nearby, see our Maidstone page (24 miles or so).

All of CT4 is within our area for AHU cleaning, from busy streets to back roads. We cover sites on Bossingham Road, Ponycart Lane and Minnis Lane and nearby roads.

Between visits

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:

  • Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
  • Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
  • Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
  • Diary the inspection date recommended in the report

When we’ve closed the unit up, it can be restarted with your site team. Keep an eye on the condensate drain over the next few days to confirm water is draining away.

Regular filter changes are the best protection an AHU has. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
