How we handle extract fan cleaning in Damerham
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing, and that’s what we clean. If you are dealing with a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and less air being pulled from the kitchen, we can put it right.
In a small place like Damerham, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Damerham
Can school kitchens in Damerham be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Damerham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which environmental health team covers Damerham?
The local authority for Damerham is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Often it’s grease on the impeller. Uneven build-up on the blades throws the fan off balance, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning doesn’t, the bearings or motor may need attention.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan clean in Damerham doesn’t take long: it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Damerham is calmer for everyone.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two for most single fans. Somewhere like Damerham, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Move anything stored near the system

What affects the quote in Damerham
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

- An impeller that’s bent or split
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen

Damerham kitchens: local notes
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Damerham. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Damerham. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St George or anywhere around Damerham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Damerham (Breamore House is about 3.5 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
