Extract fan cleaning in Catisfield, done properly
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you have vibration from an unbalanced impeller and grease stains around the discharge, we can help, from centrifugal fans, in-line fans and discharge points onwards.
In a smaller place like Catisfield, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s 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.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
The area around the fan is left clean, with waste grease removed. Wherever the fan is, the area around it is cleaned down.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What affects the quote in Catisfield
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. In a smaller place like Catisfield, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Related advice
Catisfield: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Catisfield?
Kitchens in Catisfield are inspected by Fareham council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work in villages like Catisfield?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Catisfield included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Uneven grease on the impeller often causes it. We clean the fan and tell you if anything else, like worn bearings, is to blame.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. File it with your other extract records.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is cleaned as part of TR19. If a fan can’t be reached, the report says so, so you always know what was cleaned.
Grease, kitchens and Catisfield
At about 2 miles from the coast, Catisfield is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 21 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 13 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Catisfield. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Food hygiene inspections in Catisfield are the job of Fareham council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Catisfield, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Knowle Hospital is the nearest hospital to Catisfield, about 2.2 miles north.

What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)

Where we work
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
- In-line fans
- Discharge points
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
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 the report can go to both.
What we’re called out for in Catisfield
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.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Burning smells from the fan area
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Ranvilles Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What insurance they carry
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Why act early in Catisfield
Cleaning the fan in Catisfield now is a short job: the work takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Waiting adds vibration, wear and a harder clean. Even a site near Catisfield that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
