New Member Focus - A&M Industrial Cleaning

As part of our member Q&A series we grab five minutes with Andrew Barnett, Owner of new ADCAS member company - A&M Industrial Cleaning - to find out more on the company, their reasons for joining ADCAS and the issues that matter most to them.

  • What are A&M Industrial Cleaning best known for and which industry sectors does the company operate in?

A&M were established in 2005 and are based in Hertfordshire. We specialise in kitchen deep cleaning and duct cleaning. TR19 Grease is a new, stand-alone specification for fire risk management of grease accumulation within kitchen extraction systems. At A&M we specialise in the removal of grease, particularly prone areas like ducting, fans, kitchen extract and filters. We also clean air ventilation ducting

  • How did A&M Industrial Cleaning learn about ADCAS and what were the factors involved in applying for membership?

We have a health and safety consultant how advised us to apply for membership with Build UK and they in turn recommended ADCAS as a ductwork industry trade association who could help us.

  • What are A&M Industrial Cleaning looking for from their ADCAS membership?

ADCAS expertise will help A&M gain more knowledge around air ventilation ducting.

  • What do A&M Industrial Cleaning see as the main issues/challenges within the ductwork industry?

There are not enough training centres in the south east for small companies.

  • What changes would A&M Industrial Cleaning like to see in the building services sector over the coming years?

We don’t really do a lot of work on building sites but when we do then the work is normally a one off clean. Our main problem is CSCS cards to gain access to construction site.
