AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Welham Green

All the building’s air passes through the fan, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, with the unit switched off and made safe first. The work covers supply and extract fans, heating and cooling coils and drain trays, and common reasons people get in touch are air handling units never cleaned inside and leaves and litter drawn into the unit.

Around a place like Welham Green, ventilation systems tend to be in schools, surgeries, care homes and workplaces. Even a small system collects dust in its ducts and filters.

The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Leave it or put it right?

When the unit is clean, less dirt reaches the ducts, so the whole system stays cleaner for longer. That makes the next inspection of a building in Welham Green simpler. Even a site near Welham Green that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.

You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Multi-site and managed buildings

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

Welham Green: your questions answered

Do you work at weekends in Welham Green?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Welham Green needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Can a school’s ventilation in Welham Green be done out of term time?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Welham Green. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

What does AHU cleaning cost?

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

How often do AHUs need cleaning?

There’s no single answer; it comes down to the building and the unit. Regular inspection shows when it’s due, and we will suggest an interval after the first clean.

What’s included in an AHU clean?

All the internal parts the air touches, from the intake and filters through the coils and fan to the outlet. You get a photo report showing each part before and after.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.

Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?

Yes. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning

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

  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • The number of sites or systems
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What we need to know

When you contact us, it’s useful to have:

  • A few general shots of the system
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is

We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What a clean won’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:

  • Leaking heating or cooling coils
  • Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
  • Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

Where we work

  • Supply and extract fans

AHU cleaning in Welham Green: local notes

Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities registered as food businesses across Welham Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Busy, occupied buildings like these are where clean supply air matters most. At about 17 miles from central London, Welham Green sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. For Welham Green, the closest hospital is Queen Elizabeth II Hospital, roughly 3.5 miles north. Hospitals show how much a building can rely on its ventilation, and smaller healthcare sites rely on theirs too.

Workplaces around Welham Green station with an air handling unit need the filters, coils and drain tray looked at, as well as the ducts. If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Welham Green, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like Queen Elizabeth II Hospital (about 3.5 miles north). Wherever a school like St Mary's Church of England Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

How it works

Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Around Welham Green, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.

  1. First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
  2. The unit is shut down with your site team and the area protected.
  3. Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
  4. We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
  5. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Ask for a quote

To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
