What affects the quote in Ashurst
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Extract fan cleaning in Ashurst, done properly
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. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers roof-mounted fans, fan housings and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are a heavily greased fan housing and grease stains around the discharge.
In a small place like Ashurst, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Part by part
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it can’t be reached fully, the report says so.
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. Belts and pulleys are checked and cleaned where safe for your records.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Ashurst?
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A motor area thick with grease
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- A fan left out of previous cleans
For kitchens close to Ashurst New Forest station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. For a village or hamlet like Ashurst, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Extract fan cleaning around Ashurst
The coast is only about 3 miles from Ashurst. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses in Ashurst and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Ashurst is covered by 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Foxhills Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Colbury Christ Church or elsewhere in Ashurst, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Ashurst
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Ashurst?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Ashurst. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you cover smaller places like Ashurst?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ashurst included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Allow an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Your quote will give an idea.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Ashurst?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
