Extract fan cleaning in Wickham Common, Hampshire

Why it’s worth doing now in Wickham Common

A fan clean in Wickham Common doesn’t take long: it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. In a place like Wickham Common, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

Kitchen extracts in Wickham Common

Food Standards Agency data counts about 13 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Wickham Common and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. The fire and rescue service for Wickham Common is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Wickham Common, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.

What staff can safely do

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
