Extract fan cleaning in Perham Down, done properly

In Perham Down, 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 roof-mounted fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are grease escaping from the fan outlet and a heavily greased fan housing.

In a village or hamlet like Perham Down, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.

The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What staff can safely do

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

What extract fan cleaning cannot fix

We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:

  • An impeller that is bent or split
  • A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
  • Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Where we work

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

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Perham Down?

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. So grease often settles heavily there.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • A fan shaking on its mounts
  • A motor area thick with grease
  • Weak extraction at the canopy
  • Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan

Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St James, or anywhere in Perham Down, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What to look for in a quote

  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
  • Exactly which parts of the system are covered
  • How they set the interval to the next visit
  • When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours

What affects the quote in Perham Down

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:

  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • Whether several sites go on one quote

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.

Asking for a quote

We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:

  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Perham Down

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Extract fan cleaning in Perham Down: the local picture

The fire and rescue service for Perham Down is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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. Kitchens in Perham Down get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Wellington Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Leave it or put it right?

Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. With notice, the visit to Perham Down can be fitted around your bookings and events.

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Perham Down

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Perham Down?

In Perham Down, it’s Test Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.

Who is the fire and rescue service for Perham Down?

Perham Down is in the area of 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.

Do you have insurance?

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

Can you work evenings and weekends?

Yes, and that is how we prefer to work. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, whether that’s late evening, overnight or a weekend.

What does TR19 mean?

A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.

Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?

We also repair and replace extract fans. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we’ll tell you and quote for the repair.

How far ahead should we book?

The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.

How the visit works

Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes an hour or two for most single fans. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Perham Down and turn up when the site is quiet.

  1. First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
  2. With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
  3. Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
  4. Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
  5. The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
