Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Droxford
Grease on a fan isn’t spread evenly. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. If you’re dealing with a fan that has never been cleaned and grease around the motor and its mounts, we can put it right, from discharge points, axial fans and centrifugal fans onwards.
In a small place like Droxford, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Extract fan cleaning in Droxford: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Droxford. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. The fire and rescue service for Droxford is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Droxford are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary and All Saints, or anywhere in Droxford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Droxford Junior School or anywhere near Droxford, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Droxford run smoothly.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area

Part by part
Impellers and blades
A clean impeller shows any damage: cracks, bent blades or wear. We note any concerns.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Droxford
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
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.

What else we do in Droxford
Why deal with it now?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. In a small place like Droxford, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
Extract fan cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Axial fans
- Fan housings

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Droxford
Who inspects food businesses in Droxford?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Droxford. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Droxford out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Droxford. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Anything beyond cleaning is flagged, with what we found. We offer extract fan repair and replacement, and there’s a 24/7 emergency callout for breakdowns.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
Daily cooking hours set the minimum, under BESA guidance. Heavy use means at least every 3 months, light use at least every 12, fan included.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
