Extract fan cleaning near Hungerford

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

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.

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 photos.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hungerford

Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Hungerford, typically within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with thick grease on the impeller and casing and a fan that no longer moves enough air, across centrifugal fans, fan housings and axial fans.

Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What happens if it’s left?

A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Grease is often where fan trouble begins, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. A fault that closes a site in a village like Hungerford affects everyone who depends on it.

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Hungerford kitchens: local notes

The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in and around Hungerford, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Hungerford. 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. In Hungerford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hyde Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Historic houses near Hungerford, such as Breamore House about 4.3 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Hungerford: your questions answered

Which fire authority looks after Hungerford?

Fire safety enforcement in Hungerford is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.

Which environmental health team covers Hungerford?

In Hungerford, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.

What information do you need?

Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Will we have to shut during the visit?

Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.

Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?

It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.

Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.

What if the fan needs more than a clean?

Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.

Is TR19 cleaning required by law?

No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Hungerford?

A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.

Keep an eye out for these warning signs:

  • A motor area thick with grease
  • A heavily greased fan housing
  • Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
  • Less air being pulled from the kitchen

If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Holy Ascension or elsewhere in Hungerford, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Hungerford can be planned properly.

  1. We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
  2. It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
  3. We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
  4. The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
  5. It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Get a fixed quote

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

Honest limits

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

  • A fan that was never right for the kitchen
  • A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
  • Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)

Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Fan housings
  • Roof-mounted fans
  • Axial fans
  • In-line fans
  • Discharge points
  • Centrifugal fans

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Hungerford

Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size of the system
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • The condition we find in the survey

Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

What we need to know

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

How the job changes from site to site

Impellers and blades

Coated blades move less air. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.

Roof-mounted fans

Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
