AHU cleaning for sites in Tyburn

AHU cleaning in Tyburn

An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. We look inside each section, clean what we find and record it with photos, so you can see the unit’s condition for yourself. The work covers supply and extract fans, filter sections and internal panels, and people most often call us about filters that are clogged or overdue and dirty coils holding back the airflow.

London buildings tend to keep their plant on the roof or below ground, so work in Tyburn is often done in the evening or at weekends. Parking and loading are agreed with the building in advance.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Tyburn: your questions answered

Do you do school ventilation cleaning in Tyburn in the summer holidays?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 78 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Tyburn. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.

Does London parking affect a job in Tyburn?

A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Tyburn makes the visit easier to plan. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.

Will the ventilation be off while you clean?

Yes, while the clean is under way. Out-of-hours work is available so the building is not left without ventilation when it’s busy.

Do you repair air handling units?

AHU cleaning is what we offer here, not mechanical repairs. Any faults we notice are recorded for your maintenance team to follow up.

What do you clean inside the unit?

Everything inside the unit that air passes over, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. The photo report shows each section before and after.

Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?

Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, and any sections we can’t reach are noted in the report, with new panels fitted where necessary.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.

Is Tyburn in your area?

Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Tyburn.

How we price AHU cleaning

Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:

  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • Parking and loading at the site

A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

Asking for a quote

We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:

  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • Your last certificate, test record or report

Need a price for AHU cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.

What staff can safely do

Some jobs should never be done in-house: 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.

Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

AHU cleaning in Tyburn: local notes

Food Standards Agency data includes about 78 schools, colleges and universities, about 21 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 247 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in Tyburn and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Classrooms, bedrooms and care spaces are often served by ducted air, and that ductwork collects dust over time. London plant rooms are often on roofs or in basements reached through occupied floors. Tyburn’s nearest hospital, Fortius Clinic, is about 0.5 miles north-east. Healthcare ventilation is a good example of why supply ducts need inspecting: the air goes straight to patients.

Wherever a school like Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time. Fortius Clinic, about 0.5 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Tyburn, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean. If you manage shops or offices close to London Paddington station, a TR19® Air inspection shows whether the ductwork needs cleaning.

How it works

Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones, and we clear up before we go. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Tyburn is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.

  1. The survey covers the unit, its access and how it can be shut down.
  2. We sheet the area and the unit is isolated.
  3. Dirt and debris are removed from each section.
  4. We clean the coils and clear the tray and drain.
  5. The unit is closed up and handed back, with a report to follow.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

What the work involves, part by part

Heating and cooling coils

Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. A clean gets air moving through the coil properly again.

Filters

Dirty filters cut airflow and let dirt slip past their frames. The filter section is cleaned so new or cleaned filters sit properly.

Aftercare tips

Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:

  • Stick to the filter change plan
  • Book the next check in line with the report
  • Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
  • Keep the area around the fresh air intake clear

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.

Change or clean filters on time. Once filters clog, dirt starts getting past them.

What happens if it’s left?

When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. It also means the next inspection has less to find. In Tyburn, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
