- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Branstone
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers centrifugal fans, discharge points and in-line fans, and people most often call us about hot, greasy smells near the fan and a fan that has never been cleaned.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, 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’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Branstone kitchens: local notes
At about 3 miles from the coast, Branstone is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Look up Branstone on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Branstone and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. Food hygiene inspections in Branstone are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hospital like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, about 1.8 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints' Church or anywhere around Branstone, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Branstone is about 5 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. If you need extract fan cleaning in Branstone, please ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for a fixed quote.

Branstone questions
Do you work at weekends in Branstone?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Does being near the coast affect extract fan cleaning in Branstone?
It can. Branstone is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
One easily reached fan is quick, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that’s 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Do you cover Branstone?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Branstone included.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Visits to a village like Branstone are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Branstone
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. It’s simpler to plan the work at Branstone now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Why Branstone businesses choose us
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Full insurance on every job
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across the Isle of Wight. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
When to call us in Branstone
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. So grease often settles heavily there.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Historic houses near Branstone, such as Haseley Manor about 1.2 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Before you book anyone

- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
