Isle of Wight · Extract fan cleaning
Afton Park extract fan cleaning
Our technicians work in Afton Park on cleaning of kitchen extract fans, impellers, fan housings and discharge points. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Why deal with it now?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Afton Park is calmer for everyone.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Afton Park
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you have rough running from the extract fan and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can put it right, from in-line fans, axial fans and discharge points onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Afton Park, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

What else we do in Afton Park
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens on the day
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 a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Afton Park.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What affects the quote in Afton Park
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
FAQs for Afton Park
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Afton Park?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Afton Park. 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 clean school canteen extracts around Afton Park out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Afton Park. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Afton Park kitchens: local notes
Afton Park is 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 14 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops in Afton Park and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Afton Park. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
School kitchens, at schools like All Saints Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Mottistone Manor is about 3.8 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Agnes' Church, or anywhere in Afton Park, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
