AHU cleaning for sites in Stone Cross

Part by part

Internal casing and panels

Damaged internal linings or loose panels can shed material into the air. Anything like that is recorded with photos.

Fans and fan sections

The fan moves all of the unit’s air, so dirt on it gets spread around. We clean the impeller, housing and surrounding section.

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stone Cross

An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so the report shows exactly what was done. The work covers filter sections, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils, and the jobs we see most are filters that are clogged or overdue and blocked condensate drains and slimy trays.

Work in a small place like Stone Cross starts with agreeing access and timings.

A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a village or hamlet like Stone Cross, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.

  1. We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
  2. We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
  3. Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
  4. Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
  5. A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Tell us where we can park and unload

What your team can do, and what needs us

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, alongside our reports.

When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

What we’re called out for in Stone Cross

An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and some travels further into the unit.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
  • Dust built up on fan impellers
  • Air handling units never cleaned inside
  • Dust-coated heating and cooling coils

Hospitals such as William Harvey Hospital (about 3.5 miles north) show how much a building can rely on clean ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites near Stone Cross are no different.

Questions to ask before booking

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Stone Cross

Can the work in Stone Cross be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Stone Cross needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.

Is AHU cleaning available in Stone Cross?

Yes, we work in Stone Cross and the places around it. Get in touch with the details and we will arrange a survey.

What do you do with what you remove?

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 do you clean inside the unit?

All the internal parts the air touches, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. The photo report shows each section before and after.

Do you clean the ductwork as well?

Yes, the ductwork, grilles and diffusers the unit serves. The survey shows whether the ducts need cleaning now.

What accreditations do you have?

Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.

Which sectors do you work in?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.

Aftercare tips

Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
  • Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
  • Keep inspection doors on the unit in good order
  • Note any water around the unit or leaks below it

The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can quote for both.

Make sure access doors and panels on the unit open easily. If a section is hard to get into, it tends not to get checked.

Multi-site and managed buildings

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

  • Ventilation that was badly designed in the first place
  • Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
  • Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
