AHU cleaning near Woollensbrook

AHU cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Woollensbrook

The fan pushes every bit of air in the system, so dust on its blades and housing ends up in the airstream. We clean the fan section along with the rest of the unit, once the unit has been shut down and isolated. The work covers internal panels, supply and extract fans and dampers and louvres, and common reasons people get in touch are air handling units due a clean after building work and dirty coils holding back the airflow.

For a building in or near Woollensbrook, access is agreed in advance and the visit is planned around the journey.

The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What your team can do, and what needs us

When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Why it’s worth doing now in Woollensbrook

Different parts, different methods

Filters

What’s on the filters is a good clue to what’s further in. They’re photographed before and after for your records.

Fans and fan sections

Dust on a fan impeller adds weight and wear. Cleaning keeps it running as intended.

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 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 Woollensbrook, let us know and we will plan around it.

  1. We start with a survey of the unit and a fixed quote for the work.
  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. We clean out the drain tray and make sure it drains.
  5. You get a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

How to prepare

  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Tell us where we can park and unload

How to get a quote

For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.

When something else is needed

Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:

  • Problems with the unit’s controls or sensors

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

When to call us in Woollensbrook

An AHU’s intake draws in outdoor air and everything in it: dust, pollen, leaves and debris. The intake section and first filters take the brunt, and some travels further into the unit.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Dust-coated heating and cooling coils
  • Condensate trays that will not empty
  • Air handling units with blocked filters
  • Intake sections clogged with outdoor debris

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether a survey comes first
  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
  • What paperwork you get at the end
  • What’s included in the scope, part by part
