Extract fan cleaning in Highfield, Southampton

Multi-site and managed buildings

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Highfield kitchens: local notes

At about 3 miles from the coast, Highfield is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 70 pubs and bars and about 16 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Highfield. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Highfield falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal South Hants Hospital (about 1.2 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For kitchens close to St Denys station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Where a hall near Highfield Church, or anywhere in Highfield, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
