Extract fan cleaning in Ashfield, Hampshire

Extract fan cleaning in Ashfield, done properly
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Common call-outs are for an extract fan with no cleaning record and weak extraction at the canopy, on in-line fans, discharge points and axial fans.
For a kitchen in or near Ashfield, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Ashfield can be planned properly.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Ashfield: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Ashfield?
Kitchens in Ashfield are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you work in Ashfield outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Ashfield keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan must be isolated, for safety. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking is not affected.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- Axial fans
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Why act early in Ashfield
Cleaning the fan in Ashfield now is a short job: it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. A planned visit to Ashfield is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Grease, kitchens and Ashfield
The coast is only about 3 miles from Ashfield. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records list about 20 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Ashfield. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Ashfield is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Boniface, or anywhere in Ashfield, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as Oasis Academy Lord's Hill, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Romsey Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Ashfield, about 2.2 miles north.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Leave a clear route to the fan
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
