FAQs for Cottonworth
Will you come out to Cottonworth?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Cottonworth?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Cottonworth. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, if the fan needs it. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
Photos, notes on condition and a recommended next date. Keep it with your maintenance log.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, 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.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Cottonworth
Any fan serving a kitchen in Cottonworth is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. Your report shows the impeller as we found it and as we left it. We’re often asked to deal with a fan that no longer moves enough air and burning smells from the fan area, across discharge points, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans.
In a village or hamlet like Cottonworth, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
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.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A fan that will not start
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we price extract fan cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
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 we start.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Visits to a village like Cottonworth are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
Roof-mounted fans
On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. In a place like Cottonworth, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
