Common problems we fix in Wigmore
Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it does not always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Units that have only ever had filter changes
- Dust built up on fan impellers
- Air handling units due a clean after building work
- Filters that are clogged or overdue
Medway Maritime Hospital, about 2.8 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Wigmore, and healthcare sites of every size need their supply air kept clean.
Questions to ask before you book
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the price is fixed
AHU cleaning in Wigmore, done properly
The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. Fan, housing and the surrounding panels are cleaned as part of the job, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. We are often asked to deal with leaves and litter drawn into the unit and drain trays holding standing water, across dampers and louvres, internal panels and drain trays.
Visits to a place like Wigmore are fitted around opening hours. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged coils beyond cleaning
- Mechanical faults with motors, belts or bearings
- Ductwork downstream of the unit, which is a separate clean

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. For a site near Wigmore, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- First the unit is surveyed, from pictures or a visit, and the scope agreed.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Part by part
Heating and cooling coils
Heating and cooling coils have tightly packed fins that trap fine dust. We clean them with care so the fins aren’t damaged.
Filters
What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. We photograph them for the report.
Leave it or put it right?
A light clean now is simpler than a heavy one later. Leave it for years and dirt bakes onto coils and casings, particularly where damp has made it stick. A site near Wigmore that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Common questions in Wigmore
Can you clean school ventilation in Wigmore during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 15 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Wigmore. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Will you come out to Wigmore?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Wigmore included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Can you clean the ducts connected to the AHU?
Yes. Ventilation ductwork cleaning to TR19® Air is part of what we do. Cleaning the unit and ducts together often makes sense, and we can survey both on the same visit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can you fix a faulty AHU?
Mechanical repairs to the unit are for your HVAC maintenance contractor. We will flag anything we notice during the clean.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How we price AHU cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
