AHU cleaning in Wingham

What a clean will not put right

  • Coils that are corroded or leaking and need replacing
  • A system that is undersized for the building
  • Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors

How we handle AHU cleaning in Wingham

We clean the parts of the unit where dirt and moisture gather: filters, coils, drain trays, fans and the internal panels. Every clean comes with a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures in a report. The work covers filter sections, internal panels and supply and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are dust built up on fan impellers and dirty filters cutting the airflow.

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

We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Wingham: your questions answered

Do you cover smaller places like Wingham?

Yes. Wingham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Do you clean school ventilation in Wingham in the holidays?

Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Wingham. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.

Can you clean the AHU out of hours?

Yes. The clean is planned around when the unit can be switched off. In hospitals and care homes, we agree timings with the site team.

Do you give a certificate after the clean?

Yes. A TR19® certificate and photo report are sent after the clean, with any faults we noticed.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.

What’s included in an AHU clean?

We clean the filter section, heating and cooling coils, drain trays, fan and internal casing. What happens to the filters is agreed when we quote.

Where does the waste go?

Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.

When should our AHU next be cleaned?

Under TR19® Air, cleaning is led by inspection and risk rather than a set calendar. Each report suggests when the unit should next be looked at.

How the visit works

Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes from a few hours for a compact unit to a day or more for a large one. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Wingham, let us know and we’ll plan around it.

  1. We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
  2. With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
  3. Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
  4. Drain trays are cleared and cleaned and the outlet checked.
  5. A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.

How to prepare

  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Clear the space around the work

Different parts, different methods

Drain trays

Older trays can corrode and start leaking. We record their condition with photos so repairs can be planned.

Internal casing and panels

Access doors and panels are opened in turn and closed properly afterwards, and check every one is shut.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What affects the quote in Wingham

Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • The scale of the work
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • Where the site is and how we reach it

We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Helping us quote

We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:

  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • Any previous report or certificate
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.

Signs you need AHU cleaning in Wingham

Whatever surrounds a building in Wingham, the air drawn into its AHU carries dust, pollen and debris. Most of it lands at the intake and the first stage of filters, and some travels further into the unit.

Common reasons sites call us include:

  • Leaves and litter drawn into the unit
  • Blocked condensate drains and slimy trays
  • Stale or musty smells from the ventilation
  • Coils clogged with dust and debris

If you run a surgery, dental practice or care home near Wingham, clean ventilation matters as much to you as to a hospital like St Martins Hospital (about 4.7 miles west).

Comparing quotes

  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
  • Whether a written report and pictures are included
  • Whether VAT is included
  • If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate

Questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:

  • Stick to the filter change plan
  • Store the TR19 paperwork where auditors can find it
  • Check the drain tray is emptying during routine visits
  • Report water on the plant room floor

The ducts served by the unit may need attention too. A clean unit feeding dirty ducts only solves half the problem, and we can quote for both.

Change or clean filters on time. Overloaded filters let more dirt through to the coils and fan.
