Extract fan cleaning in Atherfield Green, done properly
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing and we clean it off. We are often asked to deal with a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan that has never been cleaned, across fan housings, discharge points and centrifugal fans.
Somewhere as small as Atherfield Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Atherfield Green
Which environmental health team covers Atherfield Green?
That’s Isle of Wight council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Atherfield Green. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can the work in Atherfield Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Atherfield Green keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you work in Atherfield Green?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Atherfield Green.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
A clean won’t mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- In-line fans

How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a village like Atherfield Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What we are called out for in Atherfield Green
How fast a fan gets greasy in Atherfield Green depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Wolverton Manor, about 2 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Atherfield Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Comparing quotes
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t 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.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
