Common questions in Newbridge
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Newbridge?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Newbridge. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Newbridge out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Newbridge, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Size, access and build-up all affect it. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for most single fans.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report, including the fan’s condition and the next clean date. File it with your other extract records.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How much notice do you need?
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.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.

Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, so grease and wear build up together. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Make sure the fan is included each time
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Newbridge
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: 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 most single fans, and we clear up before we go. For a village or hamlet like Newbridge, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
When to call us in Newbridge
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Historic houses near Newbridge, such as Swainston Manor about 1.8 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Kitchen extracts in Newbridge
The coast is only about 3 miles from Newbridge. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Newbridge. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Food hygiene inspections in Newbridge are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St. Michael the Archangel or elsewhere in Newbridge, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Shalfleet Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
