Hampshire · Extract fan cleaning
Extract fan cleaning in Botley, Hampshire
We cover Botley for extract fan cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A motor area thick with grease
- Rough running from the extract fan
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
About our extract fan cleaning in Botley
If the extract fan in Botley has become noisy, weak or greasy? Tell us about it when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Botley, typically within one working day. If you have a fan that no longer moves enough air and rough running from the extract fan, we can help.
In a smaller place like Botley, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How we price extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Need a price for extract fan cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Extract fan cleaning in Botley: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 11 pubs and bars registered in and around Botley, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Botley is 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. Kitchens in Botley get their food hygiene inspections from Eastleigh council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
School kitchens, at schools like Botley Church of England Controlled Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A kitchen near Botley station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Questions from Botley
Will you come out to Botley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Botley included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can the work in Botley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Botley needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
A single accessible fan does not take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
Part by part
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Regular cleans help it keep going.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a place like Botley, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely 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.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Related advice
When to call us in Botley
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Moorgreen Hospital about 2.2 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
