Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, so grease and wear build up together. Regular cleans help it keep going.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Calshot
We’ve been trading since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. The work covers axial fans, discharge points and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are less air being pulled from the kitchen and a fan left out of previous cleans.
For a kitchen in or near Calshot, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Calshot kitchens: local notes
Calshot is within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Calshot, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. In Calshot, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Osborne House is about 4.9 miles south-east), access may need planning. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Coldeast (about 4.5 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Calshot is about 4 miles north of Cowes, in Hampshire. If you need extract fan cleaning in Calshot, please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for a fixed quote.

Calshot questions
Can you get to a site in Calshot?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Calshot included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Calshot?
That is New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Calshot. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. We clean out of hours, in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so cooking isn’t affected.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
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.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We can repair or replace it, and if it fails outright, our 24/7 emergency line is there.
Why it’s worth doing now in Calshot
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. Planning a trip to Calshot ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Common problems we fix in Calshot
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters don’t seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
What we are most often called out for:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan shaking on its mounts
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St George or elsewhere in Calshot, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether they recommend a next date
What affects the quote in Calshot
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Somewhere as small as Calshot, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area

What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning won’t do:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Damaged fan blades
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Centrifugal fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
