AHU cleaning for sites in Upper Eashing

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Make sure condensate is draining away
  • File each AHU report in the maintenance log
  • Report water on the plant room floor
  • Report musty smells from the vents right away

Stick to the filter change schedule, as that does more than anything to keep the unit clean. Record each change in the maintenance log.

Check drain trays and condensate drains during routine maintenance. Catching a slow drain early stops standing water building up.

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Upper Eashing

Our AHU cleaning covers sites in Upper Eashing and the rest of Surrey, in offices, schools, hospitals, care homes and retail. The work is timed around when the system can be switched off, including evenings, nights and weekends. Typical jobs include coils clogged with dust and debris and intake sections clogged with outdoor debris, across drain trays, dampers and louvres and internal panels.

In a village or hamlet like Upper Eashing, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

The process

The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Upper Eashing run smoothly.

  1. We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
  2. We take before pictures of each section of the unit.
  3. We work through the unit from the intake to the outlet.
  4. We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
  5. After pictures are taken and the certificate issued.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

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. That is our job.

Your questions about AHU cleaning in Upper Eashing

Can you get to a site in Upper Eashing?

Yes, Upper Eashing is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Do you work at weekends in Upper Eashing?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

How much does AHU cleaning cost in Upper Eashing?

The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.

What types of premises do you cover?

All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.

Do you need to switch the unit off?

Yes, while the clean is under way. Out-of-hours work is available to keep disruption down.

How long does an AHU clean take?

Typically the clean takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. The shutdown is planned to fit, including evenings or weekends.

What the work involves, part by part

Heating and cooling coils

Cooling coils stay damp in use, so dirt on them can turn sticky. We clean the coil and the tray beneath it together.

Rooftop and plant room units

Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.

How we price AHU cleaning

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

  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • The size of the system
  • The number of sites or systems

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 the price is fixed before we start.

What to send for a quote

When you contact us, these details help:

  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Any previous report or certificate
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Problems your staff have spotted

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Honest limits

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what AHU cleaning will not do:

  • Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
  • Damaged coils beyond cleaning
  • The supply and extract ducts, quoted separately

If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Parts of the system we cover

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

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
