Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Blendworth
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you are dealing with grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan shaking on its mounts, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Blendworth kitchens: local notes
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 6 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Blendworth, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Blendworth. 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. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Blendworth. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Where a hall near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Blendworth, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Uppark is about 4.8 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Why it’s worth doing now in Blendworth
A fan clean in Blendworth doesn’t take long: the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. In a small place like Blendworth, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
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. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

When to call us in Blendworth
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Rough running from the extract fan
A hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 4.3 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What to look for in a quote

- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Report rattles or humming early
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
How the job changes from site to site
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
Blendworth questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Blendworth?
In Blendworth, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire service covers Blendworth?
Fire safety enforcement in Blendworth is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
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. Some fans need attention sooner.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. In a small place like Blendworth, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear loose items from the work area
