Hampshire · Extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning in Ashford, Hampshire
Extract fan cleaning across Ashford and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A motor area thick with grease
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. In a small place like Ashford, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ashford
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. The work covers fan housings, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans, and people most often call us about a fan that has never been cleaned and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan.
Work in a small place like Ashford starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
Fan housings and motors
Belt-driven fans have a drive belt and pulleys that can collect grease. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Extract fan cleaning around Ashford
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Ashford, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Ashford. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Ashford 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.
Breamore House, about 3 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Ashford; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Fordingbridge Junior School or anywhere near Ashford, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: 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.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
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.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Ashford
Who is the fire and rescue service for Ashford?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Ashford. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you come to Ashford after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Ashford keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Ashford and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
