Questions from Filmore Hill
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Filmore Hill?
Fire safety enforcement in Filmore Hill is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work in villages like Filmore Hill?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Filmore Hill is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
An unbalanced impeller, typically from uneven grease, is a common cause. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How long is a fan clean?
Allow a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Your quote will give an idea.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Filmore Hill
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you are dealing with a noisy fan that has got louder over time and a motor area thick with grease, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Filmore Hill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
Get a fixed quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Related advice
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Wiring faults to the fan
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Keep access to the fan clear
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Filmore Hill
It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Filmore Hill. 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. At about 52 miles from central London, Filmore Hill sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Filmore Hill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 4.2 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Filmore Hill is about 6 miles north-west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Filmore Hill gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. Filmore Hill is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work for extract fan cleaning. We also work in Portsmouth, around 16 miles away.
Our technicians cover all of GU34 for extract fan cleaning and the streets around it. We also cover the places around Filmore Hill: Bailey Green (1 mile east), Privett (1 mile east), West Tisted (1 mile north-west), Monkwood (2 miles north) and West Meon (2 miles south-west).

A little further out are Petersfield Community Hospital (5.6 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Shutts Copse and Pidham Hill.
How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Impellers and blades
Grease on the leading edges of the blades cuts the fan’s efficiency. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Why it’s worth doing now in Filmore Hill
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Filmore Hill
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital about 5.6 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
