About our extract fan cleaning in Dummer
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Typical jobs include a fan that no longer moves enough air and a fan shaking on its mounts, across roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and discharge points.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Kitchen extracts in Dummer
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs, bars and clubs across Dummer and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Dummer. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Dummer sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Dummer, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Local landmarks in Dummer

Managing agents and facilities teams in Dummer
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left 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. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Dummer.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What we’re called out for in Dummer
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A heavily greased fan housing
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Park Prewett Hospital about 5 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether VAT is included
What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings

What else we do in Dummer
How we price extract fan cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Dummer
Which environmental health team covers Dummer?
Food hygiene inspections in Dummer are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work at weekends in Dummer?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Dummer can fit around your hours. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
With the fan isolated, the extract isn’t running. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
