Extract Fan Cleaning in Wymering

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

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

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Wymering kitchens: local notes

Sea air reaches Wymering, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. There are about 72 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 43 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Wymering, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Wymering sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

For kitchens close to Cosham station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Medina Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Wymering, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
