Need AHU cleaning in Wildridings?

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a single shift for a typical unit, longer for large or heavily soiled ones. Your opening hours decide when we come to Wildridings, not ours.

  1. First we agree when the unit can be switched off, including evenings or weekends.
  2. Before cleaning, each section is photographed.
  3. Filters, coils and internal surfaces are cleaned from intake to discharge.
  4. We finish with the fan section and the drain tray.
  5. We take after pictures and issue the certificate and report.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wildridings

A cooling coil drips condensate into a tray that should drain away. If the outlet blocks, standing water and slime build up, right in the path of the air going into the building. Clearing and cleaning the tray is central to every AHU clean. If you’re dealing with fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years and coils clogged with dust and debris, we can put it right, from dampers and louvres, supply and extract fans and internal panels onwards.

Visits to a place like Wildridings are fitted around opening hours. The work is the same as in any town: inspect, clean, record.

It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Do you need AHU cleaning in Wildridings?

Mechanical servicing keeps a unit running, but it doesn’t always include cleaning the inside. So a unit can be well maintained and still dirty.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • Filters that are clogged or overdue
  • Fan sections that haven’t been cleaned in years
  • Debris and leaves in the fresh air intake
  • Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays

Wherever a school like Wildridings Primary School has ducted ventilation, a half-term visit keeps the work out of lesson time.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the quote shows VAT
  • What insurance they carry
  • Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
  • Whether the price is fixed

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

What happens if it’s left?

Dirt left in an air handling unit does not stay in the unit. It’s carried through the ductwork and out of the grilles, so cleaning the ducts without the unit only goes so far. Even a site near Wildridings that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Why Wildridings businesses choose us

  • Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
  • One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
  • A written report with pictures after each visit
  • Survey first, then a fixed quote

When it’s something else

We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what AHU cleaning won’t do:

  • Airflow problems caused by the system’s design
  • Building management system faults
  • Leaking heating or cooling coils

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

What the work covers

  • Supply and extract fans
  • Filter sections

Questions from Wildridings

Can you work in Wildridings outside opening hours?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Wildridings needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.

Will you come out to Wildridings?

Yes, Wildridings is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

What does AHU cleaning cost?

It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.

Do you clean the ductwork as well?

Yes. Ductwork is cleaned through access panels, and any sections we cannot reach are noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted.

Will we get paperwork for the AHU clean?

Yes. You receive a certificate and a report showing each section before and after, including anything we think needs attention.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

What if parts of the system cannot be reached?

We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

Do you repair air handling units?

The clean includes noting faults, but repairs sit with your maintenance contractor, with the details in the report.

What the work involves, part by part

Fans and fan sections

The fan section is cleaned with the unit switched off and isolated in agreement with the site.

Rooftop and plant room units

Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. We protect the area below before opening them.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.

Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. About 2.1 miles south-west of Wildridings is Pinewood Hospital, the nearest hospital.
