How extract fan cleaning works in Southampton
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. A thorough clean removes the cause. The work covers roof-mounted fans, axial fans and discharge points, and people most often call us about grease stains around the discharge and vibration from an unbalanced impeller.
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.

Extract fan cleaning around Southampton
In Southampton, a busy kitchen in a place such as Shirley, Regents Park and Townhill Park and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. Wherever the site is in Southampton, the work is done to the same TR19® standard. Coastal kitchens in Southampton often have their busiest months in the summer, so it pays to book work around the busy season.
Southampton: Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bevois Town Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Southampton is Royal South Hants Hospital, about less than half a mile south.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- An impeller that’s bent or split
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- File the fan’s report with your other records
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Don’t run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
Southampton questions
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: every 3, 6 or 12 months. Some fans need attention sooner.
