Fixed quotes for AHU cleaning in Throwley

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:

  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • The size of the system
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule

Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

What to send for a quote

When you contact us, these details help:

  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

AHU cleaning in Throwley

Our AHU cleans for sites in Throwley cover the parts that collect dirt: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. We’re often asked to deal with dust-coated heating and cooling coils and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned, across filter sections, dampers and louvres and heating and cooling coils.

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.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

When to call us in Throwley

Filters that aren’t changed or cleaned on time clog up, which cuts the airflow and can let air slip round the filter. After that, the coils and fan collect what the filter should have caught.

What we are most often called out for:

  • Drain trays holding standing water
  • Coils clogged with dust and debris
  • Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
  • Stale or musty smells from the ventilation

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
  • Whether a survey comes first
  • When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
  • What insurance they carry

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Report musty smells from the vents right away
  • Report stiff or damaged access doors
  • Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
  • Do not store bins or materials near the intake

The report shows each section of the unit before and after, and note any part we couldn’t get to. Any defects we noticed, like a leaking tray or damaged lining, are listed.

Keep the unit’s doors and panels in working order. Sections that are awkward to open are the ones that get skipped.

What happens if it’s left?

Cleaning a unit while it only has light dust is quick. Years of build-up make the job longer and harder, particularly where damp has made it stick. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Throwley

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

Throwley: your questions answered

Can you get to a site in Throwley?

Yes, Throwley is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Can you work in Throwley outside opening hours?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Throwley needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

How often should an air handling unit be cleaned?

Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

Can you price the work without visiting?

Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.

Can you fix a faulty AHU?

AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. If we spot a fault, we note it in the report so your maintenance contractor can deal with it.

What should I send you?

Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.

What we do, step by step

Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. The timing of a visit to Throwley is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.

  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. We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
  5. We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice

Part by part

Rooftop and plant room units

Units on roofs and in plant rooms can be awkward to reach. We plan safe access as part of the survey so the quote reflects it.

Filters

What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. They’re photographed before and after for your records.
