Extract fan cleaning in Arreton, done properly
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you have a smell of hot grease from the extract and an extract fan with no cleaning record, we can help, from centrifugal fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans onwards.
In a small place like Arreton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Arreton, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. If the system at a site near Arreton fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
Grease can mark the outside wall around the fan. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans sit within the duct run, often above a ceiling. They’re reached through access panels or by opening the casing, once they’re isolated.
Extract fan cleaning in Arreton: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Arreton. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Arreton falls to 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. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Arreton. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Historic houses near Arreton, such as Arreton Manor about 0.5 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Whitecroft Hospital about 2.9 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. George's Church or elsewhere in Arreton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Arreton is about 3 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We provide extract fan cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Arreton and the rest of the Isle of Wight.

When it’s something else
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A fan that will not start
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
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.
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Arreton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

How we price extract fan cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Arreton questions
Do you work in villages like Arreton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Arreton is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Arreton?
The local authority for Arreton is Isle of Wight council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
