AHU cleaning for sites in Stoke Hammond

About our AHU cleaning in Stoke Hammond

The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. If you are dealing with odours coming through the supply air and dirty fans and fan housings, we can help, from drain trays, filter sections and dampers and louvres onwards.

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

The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Stoke Hammond questions

Is Stoke Hammond in your area for AHU cleaning?

Yes, Stoke Hammond is within the area we cover across London and the South East. You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.

Can the work in Stoke Hammond be done at night or at weekends?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

Can you fix a faulty AHU?

AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. Any faults we notice are recorded so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.

Is there a report after cleaning?

Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. The report also suggests when the unit should next be inspected.

How far ahead should we book?

That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.

How often do AHUs need cleaning?

Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. We recommend a next date in each report.

How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?

Expect it to take half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. The unit’s size and condition make the biggest difference, and we’ll confirm the time when we quote.

What do you do with what you remove?

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.

What a clean won’t put right

We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:

  • Building management system faults
  • Faulty motors, drives or bearings
  • Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself

If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

How we price AHU cleaning

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

  • The times the site is available
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • The size of the system
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.

What to send for a quote

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:

  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it

For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

Different parts, different methods

Drain trays

Drain trays can rust and leak over time. Their condition goes into the report with photos so you can decide on any repairs.

Rooftop and plant room units

Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. We protect the area below before opening them.

What staff can safely do

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

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Stoke Hammond buildings and their air

Stoke Hammond’s nearest hospital, Bletchley Community Hospital, is about 3.1 miles north-west. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that’s as true in a care home as in a hospital. At about 41 miles from central London, Stoke Hammond sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.

If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Stoke Hammond, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Bletchley Community Hospital (about 3.1 miles north-west). School buildings such as Sir Herbert Leon Academy are normally done in the holidays, so classrooms aren’t disturbed.

Why it’s worth doing now in Stoke Hammond

When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. It also means the next inspection has less to find. Somewhere as small as Stoke Hammond, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

What we do, step by step

Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Stoke Hammond.

  1. We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
  2. We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
  3. We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
  4. We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
  5. After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.

Before we arrive

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Getting a quote

Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
