Common problems we fix in Calbourne
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. A fan that has never been cleaned can be heavily coated, and the report will show it.
What we are most often called out for:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan that has never been cleaned
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints' Church or elsewhere in Calbourne, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

About our extract fan cleaning in Calbourne
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan shaking on its mounts and hot, greasy smells near the fan.
For a kitchen in or near Calbourne, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
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, alongside our reports.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Calbourne
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Calbourne: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Calbourne?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Calbourne needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Calbourne?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Calbourne. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Run the extract throughout cooking
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Calbourne, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. With notice, the visit to Calbourne can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
