How we handle AHU cleaning in Titchfield Common

Every supply and extract system relies on the air handling unit at its centre: air is pulled in, filtered, conditioned and sent out through the ducts. Anything that collects inside the unit can end up in the rooms it serves, which is why we clean the unit itself, not just the ducts. If you have drain trays holding standing water and debris and leaves in the fresh air intake, we can help.

In a smaller place like Titchfield Common, buildings with ducted ventilation are more likely to be a school, a surgery, a care home or a small business unit than an office block. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.

A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits

After the visit, a few habits help the work last:

  • Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
  • Plan the next inspection before the last report gets filed away
  • Keep filter changes on time and recorded
  • Don’t ignore odours coming through the grilles

Photos in the report cover the filters, coils, drain tray, fan and casing, along with anything we couldn’t reach. It also notes faults we spotted, such as damaged panels or a blocked drain.

Keep the area around the intake clear. Anything around the intake is likely to be drawn in.

Different parts, different methods

Heating and cooling coils

Because cooling coils run wet, the dirt on them tends to cling. The coil and its drain tray are cleaned as one job.

Filters

Every AHU relies on its filters to catch dust before it reaches the coils. As part of the clean, filters are checked and cleaned or replaced as agreed, and clean the filter housing.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Titchfield Common

Can you get to a site in Titchfield Common?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Titchfield Common is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Do you work at weekends in Titchfield Common?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Titchfield Common can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.

Is a quote from pictures possible?

Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.

Can you fix a faulty AHU?

We clean the unit and flag faults rather than repair them, with photos where it helps.

How long does it take to clean an air handling unit?

Cleaning takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Bigger units can be phased, and you can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos to plan it.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.

Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?

Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. It’s often worth doing both at once, and we can survey both on the same visit.

What do you do to protect the area?

We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning

We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:

  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • How big the system is
  • The times the site is available
  • Whether several sites go on one quote

We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.

What to send for a quote

To help us quote quickly, send us:

What we’re called out for in Titchfield Common

Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it doesn’t always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.

The symptoms we are asked about most include:

  • Plant that needs cleaning after a refit
  • Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
  • Dirty coils holding back the airflow
  • Dirty filters cutting the airflow

Wherever a school like St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

What your quote should include

  • Whether a survey comes first
  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
  • What records you’ll receive afterwards

Questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. For a place like Titchfield Common, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.

  1. The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Getting a quote

Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Advice

Why it’s worth doing now in Titchfield Common

A clogged coil or dirty fan makes the unit work harder for the same airflow. The result is extra wear and a building that does not feel as comfortable, and a clean on your terms beats a breakdown on nobody’s. Around Titchfield Common, a kitchen or building out of action is missed right away.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
