Northbrook kitchens: local notes
Kitchens in Northbrook get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. About 56 miles out from central London, Northbrook is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Micheldever CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Northbrook
In Northbrook, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers centrifugal fans, in-line fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are grease escaping from the fan outlet and weak extraction at the canopy.
Somewhere as small as Northbrook, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What affects the quote in Northbrook
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Common problems we fix in Northbrook
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, 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.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Northbrook, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- An undersized fan that cannot cope
- An impeller that’s bent or split
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers

Why act early in Northbrook
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Northbrook is calmer for everyone.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Questions from Northbrook
Can you get to a site in Northbrook?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Northbrook is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Northbrook?
Kitchens in Northbrook are inspected by Winchester City council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot start while we work. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Northbrook can be planned properly.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Managing agents and facilities teams in Northbrook
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.
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 pictures, so each one has its own record.
