Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Cosham
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You will know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. Typical jobs include a motor area thick with grease and a heavily greased fan housing, on roof-mounted fans, axial fans and centrifugal fans.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Cosham gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

How we price extract fan cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Cosham?
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Cosham as anywhere. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Rough running from the extract fan
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Where a hall near Church of St Philip, or anywhere in Cosham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Keep records of every fan clean
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Cosham
Is extract fan cleaning any different in a coastal place like Cosham?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Cosham than inland. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Which fire service covers Cosham?
Cosham is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, where it makes sense. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Your opening hours decide when we come to Cosham, not ours.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Cosham kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 1 mile from Cosham. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 18 pubs and bars and about 6 hotels and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Cosham. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Cosham get their food hygiene inspections from Portsmouth council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A kitchen near Cosham station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Court Lane Junior Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
