How we handle AHU cleaning in Stroud Common
Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Stroud Common and the rest of Surrey, in buildings such as offices, schools, healthcare sites and shops. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. Typical jobs include debris and leaves in the fresh air intake and stale or musty smells from the ventilation, across supply and extract fans, drain trays and dampers and louvres.
Work in a small place like Stroud Common starts with agreeing access and timings.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. Somewhere like Stroud Common, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We look at the unit and the plant area during the survey.
- We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
- Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
- We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
- The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
Signs you need AHU cleaning in Stroud Common
Planned maintenance often covers belts, motors and filters but not cleaning. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Coils clogged with dust and debris
- Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
- Air handling units with blocked filters
- Condensate trays that won’t empty
For schools like Wonersh and Shamley Green CofE Aided Primary School, the holidays are the usual time to inspect and clean ventilation.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the price is fixed

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Don’t store bins or materials near the intake
- Stick to the filter change plan
- Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles
- File each AHU report in the maintenance log
The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can quote for both.
Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.
Questions from Stroud Common
Can you work in Stroud Common outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Stroud Common?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stroud Common is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you need to switch the unit off?
Yes, while the clean is under way. We can work evenings, overnight or at weekends so the building is not left without ventilation when it’s busy.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you clean the ductwork as well?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we cannot reach are noted in the report, with new panels fitted where needed.
What’s included in an AHU clean?
Filters, coils, drain trays, the fan and the internal surfaces are all covered. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stroud Common
Leave an AHU uncleaned and the dirt does not stay put. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. Planning a trip to Stroud Common ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Different parts, different methods
Internal casing and panels
Access doors and panels are opened in turn and closed properly afterwards before the unit is handed back.
Rooftop and plant room units
Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. The intake section gets particular attention.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Stroud Common
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.
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.
