Ventilation Hygiene Specialists Ltd
Ventilation Hygiene Specialists Ltd (VHS) is part of the Protherm UK Ltd group of companies, established in 1993. VHS was created to provide a maintenance division to complement the manufacturing arm of Protherm UK. Together, they offer a wide portfolio of services within the ventilation sector. Building design has evolved significantly over the last twenty years, focusing on improving comfort and safety for building occupants while reducing power wastage and carbon footprint. Technologies like Air Handling Equipment, Fan Coil Units, Ventilation Fire Dampers, and Gas Interlock Systems are now standard features in various sectors, including Education, Healthcare, Offices, Shops, Hotels, and Leisure. While these technologies bring numerous benefits, their installation presents challenges. Building management regulations require responsible persons to service, repair, replace, and fine-tune air movement systems to ensure maximum efficiency. Safety features like Ventilation Fire Dampers must be regularly cleaned and tested to prevent failure during emergencies. Effective cleaning can reduce hygiene concerns and optimize overall system performance. VHS, working alongside Protherm UK, offers clients a 'one-stop shop' solution for all their ventilation system needs. They provide services covering every aspect of the system, managing each discipline on behalf of the client with service records, photographic evidence, and reports to ensure accountability.
VHS provides specialist air duct cleaning services, delivering site surveys, reports, and guidance on cleaning and maintenance regimes and contracts for projects ranging from single buildings to multi-site operations.
The most common issues relate to cleanliness and water leaks. Ensuring the internal surfaces of an AHU are clean and dry is crucial as the unit is at the start of the air supply chain.
Operators of buildings incorporating ventilation fire dampers are legally obliged to satisfactorily maintain dampers in the same way they would maintain fire alarms, fire extinguishers, and other such equipment.
Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) testing involves equipment inspection, site tests using various pre-calibrated measuring devices, and compilation of reports which can be used as evidence of system efficiency.
