Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Milford on Sea
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. We are often asked to deal with a fan that has never been cleaned and less air being pulled from the kitchen, across discharge points, roof-mounted fans and fan housings.
In a smaller place like Milford on Sea, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Milford on Sea?
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Milford on Sea, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Make sure the fan is included each time
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
