Why act early in The Hummicks
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. A planned visit to The Hummicks is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Why The Hummicks businesses choose us
- Trading since 2009
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Every job surveyed first
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
About our extract fan cleaning in The Hummicks
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re often asked to deal with a heavily greased fan housing and rough running from the extract fan, across centrifugal fans, discharge points and fan housings.
In a village or hamlet like The Hummicks, 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, whatever the size of the place.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. If you can send photos, we can arrive in The Hummicks knowing what to expect.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
Questions from The Hummicks
Which fire service covers The Hummicks?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers The Hummicks. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in The Hummicks?
Kitchens in The Hummicks are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Run the extract throughout cooking
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Common problems we fix in The Hummicks
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Where a hall near Church of the Blessed Virgin and Child, or anywhere in The Hummicks, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Grease, kitchens and The Hummicks
At about 2 miles from the coast, The Hummicks is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in The Hummicks and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. The fire and rescue service for The Hummicks is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
