How the job changes from site to site

Internal casing and panels

The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. We clean each section from intake to discharge.

Filters

What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. We photograph them for the report.

About our AHU cleaning in Udimore

Our AHU cleans for sites in Udimore cover the parts that collect dirt: the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and casing. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report showing the unit before and after. The work covers internal panels, heating and cooling coils and supply and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are dust-coated heating and cooling coils and odours coming through the supply air.

In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.

A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in Udimore

If people in a building in Udimore complain about stuffy or smelly air, the AHU is worth looking at. Cleaning it deals with the cause rather than the symptom. A planned visit to Udimore is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Udimore

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.

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 send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Aftercare tips

No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:

  • Keep the certificate and photo report with the plant records
  • Diary the inspection date recommended in the report
  • Make sure condensate is draining away
  • Do not store bins or materials near the intake

If the ductwork hasn’t been cleaned, consider it next. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can survey both.

Have the unit inspected regularly, in line with the risk-based approach of TR19® Air, rather than waiting for a problem.

How the visit works

When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Udimore and turn up when the site is quiet.

  1. First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
  2. We arrange the shutdown with your staff and sheet the area.
  3. Filters, coils, fan section and casing are cleaned in turn.
  4. We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
  5. We close up the unit and send the certificate and before and after photos.

Preparing for the visit

  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Move anything stored near the system

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Common problems we fix in Udimore

Whatever surrounds a building in Udimore, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and the finer material travels on.

Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Dirty filters cutting the airflow
  • Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
  • Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
  • Units needing a clean before a new tenant or handover

Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like Conquest Hospital (about 5.4 miles south-west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed
  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
  • What paperwork you get at the end

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

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.

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
