Extract fan cleaning in Cranmore, done properly
In Cranmore, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: 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 rough running from the extract fan and thick grease on the impeller and casing, on in-line fans, axial fans and discharge points.
Somewhere as small as Cranmore, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Cranmore
Do you cover smaller places like Cranmore?
Yes. Cranmore is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Cranmore in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Cranmore. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum in BESA guidance. At the extremes, that is 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for most single fans, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere as small as Cranmore, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Report rattles or humming early
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Make sure the fan is reachable. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. A planned visit to Cranmore is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Extract fan cleaning in Cranmore: the local picture
The coast is only about 1 mile from Cranmore. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Cranmore. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Cranmore. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Cranmore is Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 5.9 miles north-west. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Swainston Manor is about 3.4 miles south-east), access may need planning.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Cranmore
How fast a fan gets greasy in Cranmore depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
School kitchens, at schools like Shalfleet Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
