AHU cleaning near Upper Woolhampton

Looking after it afterwards

So the system stays in good health:

  • Look at the condensate drain whenever the unit is serviced
  • Make sure the unit’s access doors open easily
  • Do not store bins or materials near the intake
  • Flag stale or damp smells in the supply air

The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. Cleaning the unit and ducts together gives the best result, and we can quote for both.

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

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Upper Woolhampton

An AHU clean is a thorough examination and treatment of the unit. Every section is opened, cleaned and photographed, so the report shows exactly what was done. The work covers heating and cooling coils, supply and extract fans and drain trays, and common reasons people get in touch are filters that are clogged or overdue and coils clogged with dust and debris.

Work in a small place like Upper Woolhampton starts with agreeing access and timings.

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’re fully insured.

How the visit works

There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from half a day for one small unit to several shifts for a plant room full of them. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Upper Woolhampton.

  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. Each section is cleaned of dust, debris and slime.
  4. Coils and trays are cleaned and the condensate drain cleared.
  5. We close every panel, hand the unit back and send the report and certificate.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:

  • Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean
  • Damaged coils beyond cleaning
  • Airflow problems caused by the system’s design

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What the work covers

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

Multi-site and managed buildings

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • The number of sites or systems

What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What we need to know

You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:

  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet

If you need AHU cleaning in Upper Woolhampton, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.

Different parts, different methods

Rooftop and plant room units

Units outside are exposed to weather and windblown debris. We clean the intake and first stage of filters along with the rest.

Heating and cooling coils

Dirt on a coil slows the air and makes it harder for the coil to heat or cool. Cleaning restores the open path through the fins.
