AHU cleaning in Stratton Audley

Leave it or put it right?

A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, especially where there’s been moisture. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Stratton Audley rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stratton Audley

Coils are where a lot of the dirt ends up. A coated coil restricts airflow and makes the unit work harder. Coils are cleaned carefully, with methods chosen so the fins are not flattened. The work covers filter sections, dampers and louvres and supply and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs and dirty filters cutting the airflow.

Rural buildings with mechanical ventilation, such as care homes and country hotels, often keep their units in roof spaces or outbuildings, where filters and drain trays get forgotten.

Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works

The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Stratton Audley.

  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. Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
  5. The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Tell us where we can park and unload

What staff can safely do

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.

FAQs for Stratton Audley

Do you work overnight in Stratton Audley?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Stratton Audley keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.

Can you do AHU cleaning in Stratton Audley?

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.

What information do you need?

The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.

What’s TR19?

BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.

What if parts of the system can’t be reached?

We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Which parts of an air handling unit do you clean?

We clean the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and internal casing. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.

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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Stratton Audley

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

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

What a clean will not put right

We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:

  • Dirty ducts beyond the unit itself
  • Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
  • Damaged coils beyond cleaning

If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Parts of the system we cover

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

What affects the quote in Stratton Audley

You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:

  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • The scale of the work
  • The times the site is available
  • How easy every part is to reach

What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Helping us quote

You do not need the technical terms. Just send:

  • Any previous report or certificate
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

When to call us in Stratton Audley

Whatever surrounds a building in Stratton Audley, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and some travels further into the unit.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Filters that are clogged or overdue
  • Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
  • Coils clogged with dust and debris
  • Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake

School buildings such as Cooper School are usually done in the holidays, so classrooms are not disturbed.

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they recommend a next date
  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • Exactly which parts of the system are covered
