About our extract fan cleaning in Chilton Green
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Heavier deposits on some blades throw the impeller off balance, leading to vibration, noise and strain on the motor and bearings. A thorough clean removes the cause. The work covers in-line fans, axial fans and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about a fan coated in grease inside its housing and rough running from the extract fan.
Somewhere as small as Chilton Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. In a small place like Chilton Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- 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
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Check filters are seated before cooking
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.

What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
Grease, kitchens and Chilton Green
Chilton Green is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Look up Chilton Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Chilton Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Chilton Green. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Mottistone Manor, about 0.9 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Chilton Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Peter and St Paul's Church, or anywhere in Chilton Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Common questions in Chilton Green
Who is the fire and rescue service for Chilton Green?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Chilton Green. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can sea air affect extract fan cleaning in Chilton Green?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Chilton Green gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What we’re called out for in Chilton Green
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. Over time, that imbalance shakes the fan and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Brighstone Church of England Aided Primary School or anywhere near Chilton Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Why act early in Chilton Green
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. In a place like Chilton Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Photo reports with every job
