Extract Fan Cleaning in Durford Wood
Professional extract fan cleaning in and around Durford Wood, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.

- A fan shaking on its mounts
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Durford Wood
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you have an extract fan with no cleaning record and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, we can put it right, from in-line fans, centrifugal fans and discharge points onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Durford Wood, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. With notice, the visit to Durford Wood can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Durford Wood, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Durford Wood, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Kitchens in Durford Wood get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Durford Wood sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Durford Wood, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
