What a clean will not put right

AHU cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:

  • Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
  • Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
  • A system that is undersized for the building

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on in Stocking Pelham

About our AHU cleaning in Stocking Pelham

We clean air handling units for buildings in Stocking Pelham and across Hertfordshire, working to TR19® Air, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. Units are cleaned when the site can spare them, often evenings, overnight or weekends. The work covers internal panels, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres, and common reasons people get in touch are stale or musty smells from the ventilation and plant that needs cleaning after a refit.

In a village or hamlet like Stocking Pelham, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.

Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Leave it or put it right?

A slimy drain tray only gets worse. Leave it and you risk overflows, leaks into the space below and odours carried round the building. Clearing it now is a much smaller job. A planned visit to Stocking Pelham is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

Why us?

  • A fixed price before any work starts
  • Photo reports with every job
  • Fully insured
  • One number for every site across the South East and London

Different parts, different methods

Internal casing and panels

Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. We note any we find in the report.

Heating and cooling coils

A dirty coil holds back the air and makes heating and cooling less effective. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Stocking Pelham knowing what to expect.

  1. First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
  2. Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
  3. Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
  4. We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
  5. After photos are taken and the certificate issued.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Do you need AHU cleaning in Stocking Pelham?

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 that’s where slime and odours start.

Common reasons sites call us include:

  • Filters that are clogged or overdue
  • Drain trays holding standing water
  • Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
  • Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs

An inspection comes first for any ventilation job around Stocking Pelham, so the cleaning matches what’s there.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the quote shows VAT
  • How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
  • Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
  • Whether they recommend a next date

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning

The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:

  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • What state the system is in
  • The scale of the work

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

Helping us quote

We can often survey from photos. Try to include:

  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • The site address and the type of premises

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
