Extract fan cleaning in Durley
If the extract fan in Durley has become noisy, weak or greasy? Tell us about it when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Durley, typically within one working day. The work covers in-line fans, centrifugal fans and discharge points, and people most often call us about a fan left out of previous cleans and weak extraction at the canopy.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

FAQs for Durley
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Durley?
Food hygiene inspections in Durley are carried out by Winchester City council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work in villages like Durley?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Durley is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What if the fan needs more than a clean?
Cleaning removes grease, but it cannot fix worn parts. Where the fan needs repair or replacement, we can do that too, with a fixed quote first.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.

What else we do in Durley
How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Motors and their electrics are kept dry and treated with care, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. We clean them where they can be safely reached, with any limits noted.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Durley?
A greasy fan in Durley is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it, and a hot, struggling motor does not help.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Grease stains around the discharge
For schools such as Durley Church of England Controlled Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Kitchen extracts in Durley
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Durley. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Durley. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Durley. 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (South Stoneham House is about 5 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Cross, or anywhere in Durley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Durley run smoothly.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely 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
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Make sure the fan is included each time
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
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 on a regular cycle.
Honest limits
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Discharge points
- Axial fans
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
