About our extract fan cleaning in Crofton
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we will tell you, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. We’re often asked to deal with a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and a smell of hot grease from the extract, across discharge points, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans.
In a small place like Crofton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Crofton
How fast a fan gets greasy in Crofton depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
What we are most often called out for:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A motor area thick with grease
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
For schools such as Crofton School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Other services in Crofton
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. Under BESA guidance, heavy use means cleaning at least every 3 months, fan included.
What affects the quote in Crofton
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What staff can safely do
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Common questions in Crofton
Is Crofton within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Crofton is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Crofton?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Crofton. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Crofton run smoothly.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- 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.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Kitchen extracts in Crofton
Sea air reaches Crofton, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. There are about 39 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 22 takeaways and sandwich shops across Crofton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Crofton sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Peel Common Mission Church or elsewhere in Crofton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A hospital like Gosport War Memorial Hospital, about 3 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
