Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in East Cholderton
A clean fan is not a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you are dealing with a heavily greased fan housing and a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease, we can help.
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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Leave it or put it right?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. A fault that closes a site in a village like East Cholderton affects everyone who depends on it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to East Cholderton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Report rattles or humming early
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Run the extract throughout cooking
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. Scraping and degreasing them restores their shape, so the fan can run as intended.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so the method is planned in advance. Anything out of reach is recorded.
FAQs for East Cholderton
Which council inspects kitchens in East Cholderton?
The local authority for East Cholderton is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire service covers East Cholderton?
Fire safety enforcement in East Cholderton is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Is East Cholderton in your area?
Yes. We work in East Cholderton and the rest of Hampshire, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we can clean just the fan. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in East Cholderton?
A fan in East Cholderton builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
What we’re most often called out for:
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 3.5 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
