Extract fan cleaning in Curbridge, done properly
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. We are often asked to deal with a fan left out of previous cleans and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, across roof-mounted fans, in-line fans and centrifugal fans.
In a smaller place like Curbridge, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Curbridge. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Curbridge. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. Your opening hours decide when we come to Curbridge, not ours.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit

- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

When to call us in Curbridge
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A heavily greased fan housing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
In and around Curbridge, every reachable section of the extract is cleaned, and anything we can’t reach goes on the report.

Why act early in Curbridge
For a kitchen in Curbridge, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why Curbridge businesses choose us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- We diagnose before we treat
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
Part by part
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and grease builds up on them unevenly. That is what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
- Report rattles or humming early
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
How we price extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
There’s no standard 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 start, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Wiring faults to the fan
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
