AHU cleaning in Worth Abbey

All the building’s air passes through the fan, 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, with the unit switched off and made safe first. The work covers heating and cooling coils, supply and extract fans and internal panels, and people most often call us about air handling units due a clean after building work and dust built up on fan impellers.

In rural areas, ventilation units are often in roof voids or outbuildings, which makes them easy to overlook.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Common problems we fix in Worth Abbey

Dirt in an AHU matters in two ways: the unit supplies the air people breathe, and a dirty unit has to work harder. For anyone working, learning or staying in a building in Worth Abbey, that is air they breathe for hours at a time.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • Plant that has been serviced but not cleaned
  • Air handling units due a clean after building work
  • Filters that are clogged or overdue
  • Rooms that smell stuffy when the system runs

Classrooms and halls at schools such as Oriel High School are easiest to work in when pupils are away.

What your quote should include

  • How VAT is shown on the quote
  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • What records you’ll receive afterwards
  • What hours they’ll be on site

Questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes one overnight shift for many single units, with bigger plant phased. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Worth Abbey.

  1. We agree a shutdown window that suits the building.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

For landlords and multi-site operators

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.

What staff can safely do

Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
