About our extract fan cleaning in Clatterford
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. If you have an extract fan with no cleaning record and rough running from the extract fan, we can help.
Work in a small place like Clatterford starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Clatterford kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 8 pubs and bars registered in and around Clatterford, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Clatterford is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Clatterford get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Clatterford (Carisbrooke Castle is about 0.3 miles east), fitting access panels needs care. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St. Nicholas in Castro or anywhere around Clatterford, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Clatterford is about 1 mile south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof-mounted fans
Grease can escape from a roof fan onto the surrounding surface, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we will tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Clatterford
Which fire service covers Clatterford?
Clatterford is in the area of 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 Clatterford after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Clatterford needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. TR19® Grease covers the whole system, fan included. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Clatterford
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Clatterford as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
School kitchens, at schools like St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of insurance

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Visits to a village like Clatterford are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Why act early in Clatterford
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. A planned visit to Clatterford is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
