How we handle AHU cleaning in Stonor

Where a building in Stonor has had little more than filter changes, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full clean deals with all of it. Typical jobs include stale or musty smells from the ventilation and units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover, across filter sections, supply and extract fans and drain trays.

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

It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What the work involves, part by part

Drain trays

Standing water in a tray sits right where the air passes. We clean it and report anything about the tray or drain that needs fixing.

Fans and fan sections

Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. A clean fan runs more smoothly.

What we do, step by step

When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Stonor can be planned properly.

  1. First the unit is surveyed, from photos or a visit, and the scope agreed.
  2. With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
  3. Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
  4. Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
  5. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

Getting ready for the visit

Leave it or put it right?

A clean unit feeds cleaner air into the ductwork, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. It also means the next inspection has less to find. Planning a trip to Stonor ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Stonor

Wherever there’s a cooling coil, there’s condensate. 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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Filters that are clogged or overdue
  • Condensate trays that will not empty
  • Units that have only ever had filter changes
  • Leaves and litter drawn into the unit

Around Stonor, as anywhere, ventilation cleaning begins with an inspection.

Questions to ask before you book

  • When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
  • Whether a survey comes first

Questions to ask before you book

What affects the quote in Stonor

Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:

  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • How big the system is
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule

Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Asking for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Your last certificate, test record or report

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Stonor

Do you work at weekends in Stonor?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.

Is Stonor within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

How often should an air handling unit 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’s TR19?

TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

What happens if you can’t reach some of it?

The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.

Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?

Yes, supply and extract ducts, grilles and diffusers. We will tell you after the survey whether the ducts need it.

Is a quote from pictures possible?

Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.

Keeping the system healthy

No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:

  • Make sure condensate is draining away
  • Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
  • Stick to the filter change plan
  • Report water on the plant room floor

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

Make the drain tray part of every maintenance visit. A drain that’s cleared early never gets to the slime stage.
