Extract fan cleaning in Awbridge, 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. Typical jobs include grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan that no longer moves enough air, on axial fans, roof-mounted fans and fan housings.
Somewhere as small as Awbridge, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Why deal with it now?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. A fault that closes a site in a village like Awbridge affects everyone who depends on it.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Make sure the fan is included each time
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Extract fan cleaning around Awbridge
Look up Awbridge on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Awbridge, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Awbridge. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Awbridge sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Awbridge, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Awbridge (Mottisfont Abbey is about 2 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. A hospital like Romsey Community Hospital, about 3 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Awbridge questions
Will you come out to Awbridge?
Yes. Awbridge is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Awbridge?
In Awbridge, it’s Test Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and that’s how we prefer to work. The visit is timed for when the area isn’t in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
Allow an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. We will confirm the time when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
At least as often as the rest of the extract, which BESA guidance sets by daily cooking hours: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. A noisy or heavily coated fan may need it sooner.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or two for most single fans. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Awbridge and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.
