Extract fan cleaning near Wintershill

Managing agents and facilities teams in Wintershill

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

About our extract fan cleaning in Wintershill

Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and in-line fans, and common reasons people get in touch are weak extraction at the canopy and burning smells from the fan area.

Work in a small place like Wintershill starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.

The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Between visits

Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:

  • Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
  • Keep records of every fan clean
  • Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
  • Check filters are seated before cooking

When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.

The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.

Different parts, different methods

Kitchens with long cooking hours

When a busy kitchen’s fan fails, cooking stops. Keeping the fan clean is part of avoiding that, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.

Fan housings and motors

Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:

  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • The size of the system
  • Parking and loading at the site

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Helping us quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • A few general shots of the system
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site

What happens on the day

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or two for most single fans. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Wintershill.

  1. First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
  2. Once isolated, we open the fan up.
  3. Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
  4. We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
  5. We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

Grease, kitchens and Wintershill

Wintershill sits within the area of 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. Food hygiene inspections in Wintershill are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

Bursars and site managers at schools such as Wyvern Technology College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Moorgreen Hospital about 3.9 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What a clean won’t put right

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

  • A fan that was never right for the kitchen
  • Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
  • An impeller that’s bent or split

Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

Where we work

  • Centrifugal fans
  • Roof-mounted fans
  • Fan housings

Common questions in Wintershill

Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Wintershill?

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Wintershill. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.

Do you work in villages like Wintershill?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.

How far ahead should we book?

Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

Why is my extract fan noisy?

An unbalanced impeller, usually from uneven grease, is a common cause. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.

Who is the responsible person?

The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.

Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?

Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.

What happens if you can’t reach some of it?

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.
