Work in a small place like Broughton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.

FAQs for Broughton
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Broughton?
That is 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.
Can you come to Broughton after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan must be isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
Is Broughton in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Broughton, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. The timing of a visit to Broughton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Roof-mounted fans
What the work involves, part by part
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: chips, distortion or wear. Anything we see goes on the report.
Kitchen extracts in Broughton
Kitchens in Broughton get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. 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. The fire and rescue service for Broughton is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Broughton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Broughton Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Broughton?
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
Mottisfont Abbey, about 3.9 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Broughton; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What affects the quote in Broughton
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Why act early in Broughton
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Broughton is calmer for everyone.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
