Extract Fan Cleaning in Brookgreen
Extract fan cleaning for commercial sites in Brookgreen and across the Isle of Wight. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Burning smells from the fan area
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Brookgreen and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Brookgreen
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. Our job is to clear it, check it runs smoothly and record what we found so you get a clean bill of health. Common call-outs are for a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan that has never been cleaned, across axial fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.
In a small place like Brookgreen, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
What we are called out for in Brookgreen
Fans that are hard to reach are often the ones that get missed. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Burning smells from the fan area
Historic houses near Brookgreen, such as Mottistone Manor about 0.9 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Proof of insurance
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Grease, kitchens and Brookgreen
Brookgreen lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Brookgreen is covered by 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. Food hygiene inspections in Brookgreen 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. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Mary's Church or anywhere around Brookgreen, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Places near Brookgreen
What else we do in Brookgreen
Different parts, different methods
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Brookgreen
Can you get to a site in Brookgreen?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Does coastal air change anything about extract fan cleaning in Brookgreen?
It can. Brookgreen is within about 1 mile 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.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
An unbalanced impeller, normally from uneven grease, is a common cause. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The whole system still needs cleaning at the intervals in BESA guidance.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. Anything that cannot be reached is recorded, so you always know what was cleaned.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Why it’s worth doing now in Brookgreen
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Planning a trip to Brookgreen ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
