AHU cleaning in Sutton Green

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

If your staff spot something 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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

How we handle AHU cleaning in Sutton Green

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. Typical jobs include fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and drain trays holding standing water, on drain trays, dampers and louvres and internal panels.

Somewhere as small as Sutton Green, ducted ventilation is typically limited to a school, a care home, a surgery or a converted business building, wherever there is one, but those that do need it inspected and cleaned like any other.

A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Sutton Green

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Sutton Green and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.

Common questions in Sutton Green

Can ventilation in schools around Sutton Green be cleaned out of term?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Sutton Green. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.

Can you work in Sutton Green outside opening hours?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Sutton Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

Which accreditations do you hold?

We are 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.

What is TR19?

A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

How much does AHU cleaning cost?

It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.

Do you give a certificate after the clean?

Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, including anything we think needs attention.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning

There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:

  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • What state the system is in
  • How big the system is

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. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What we need to know

Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:

  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Sutton Green buildings and their air

Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities and about 5 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises registered as food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Sutton Green. Where buildings like these have air handling units, filters, coils and drain trays need regular attention. About 2.4 miles north of Sutton Green is Woking Community Hospital, the nearest hospital. Healthcare buildings depend on clean supply and extract ventilation, and the same applies to surgeries, clinics and care homes. Sutton Green, about 25 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.

If you manage a school such as Hoe Valley School, ventilation cleaning is best booked for the holidays. Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Woking Community Hospital (about 2.4 miles north) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

When something else is needed

To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:

  • The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately
  • Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors
  • Breakdowns that need a mechanical engineer

If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

What the work covers

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

Different parts, different methods

Rooftop and plant room units

Rooftop units take the weather, and intakes can collect leaves and debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.

Heating and cooling coils

Coil fins are close together and catch the dust the filters miss. They’re cleaned using methods that will not bend or flatten the fins.

The process

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Sutton Green and turn up when the site is quiet.

  1. We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
  2. We take before photos of each section of the unit.
  3. Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
  4. We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
  5. We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Getting a quote

The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Between visits

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:

  • Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
  • Report stiff or damaged access doors
  • Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air
  • Stick to the filter change plan

Once the clean is done, we send a TR19® certificate and a report with before and after pictures. They belong in the plant or maintenance log.

Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air instead of leaving it to guesswork.
