Why deal with it now?
A fan that sounds rough in East Meon is often telling you the extract needs a clean. If the fan is coated, the duct before it normally is too, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- Each visit written up, with pictures
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in East Meon
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and axial fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan shaking on its mounts and a fan coated in grease inside its housing.
Somewhere as small as East Meon, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common questions in East Meon
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in East Meon?
Kitchens in East Meon are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you get to a site in East Meon?
Yes. East Meon is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours the kitchen cooks, under BESA guidance. At the extremes, that’s 3-monthly for heavy use and 12-monthly for light use, fan included.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen can’t cook while we work. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
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 few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. The timing of a visit to East Meon is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan housings and motors

Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Grease, kitchens and East Meon
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers East Meon. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in East Meon 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Petersfield Community Hospital (about 4 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as East Meon Church of England Controlled Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
East Meon is about 4 miles west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in East Meon, extract fan cleaning is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so trading isn’t interrupted. East Meon is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover for commercial clients. You can also see our page for Portsmouth, about 13 miles away.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in East Meon
How fast a fan gets greasy in East Meon depends on the cooking: 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.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in East Meon, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
