Extract fan cleaning in Crowdhill, done properly
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades and housing, and that is what we clean. The work covers centrifugal fans, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans, and people most often call us about less air being pulled from the kitchen and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How we price extract fan cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Kitchen extracts in Crowdhill
The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in Crowdhill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Crowdhill get their food hygiene inspections from Eastleigh council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Crowdhill is covered by 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.
South Stoneham House, about 4.4 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Crowdhill; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. A hospital like Moorgreen Hospital, about 3.6 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Crowdhill questions
Can you work in Crowdhill outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Crowdhill?
Fire safety enforcement in Crowdhill is handled by 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 should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Why has my extract fan got louder?
An unbalanced impeller, normally from uneven grease, is a common cause. After cleaning, we will tell you if wear or damage is also involved.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Cleaning removes grease, but it can’t fix worn parts. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
When to call us in Crowdhill
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Burning smells from the fan area
Where a hall near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Crowdhill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether a written report and photos are included
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Crowdhill, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

How the job changes from site to site
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
