Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in North Charford

The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:

  • How big the system is
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • Travel, parking and unloading

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What we need to know

Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:

  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

The process

Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like North Charford.

  1. We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
  2. The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
  3. The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
  4. The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
  5. We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Advice

Managing agents and facilities teams in North Charford

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Leave it or put it right?

An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. Planning a trip to North Charford ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Why book with us

  • One number for every site across the South East and London
  • Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
  • Each visit written up, with pictures
  • Every job surveyed first

Aftercare tips

How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Report grease escaping from the fan
  • Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
  • Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
  • Note any drop in extraction at the canopy

Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.

Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

What the work involves, part by part

Impellers and blades

The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and grease builds up on them unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.

Kitchens with long cooking hours

Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.

Grease, kitchens and North Charford

North Charford is covered by 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. Food hygiene inspections in North Charford are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. 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.

School kitchens, at schools like Hale Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Historic houses near North Charford, such as Breamore House about 2.8 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in North Charford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
