How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. Heavy staining is noted on the report.
What extract fan cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Damaged fan blades
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Grease, kitchens and East Worldham
Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in East Worldham. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. At about 44 miles from central London, East Worldham sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in East Worldham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Alton Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to East Worldham, about 2.5 miles west. For schools such as Eggar's School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Leave it or put it right?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. For a village or hamlet like East Worldham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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.

What affects the quote in East Worldham
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
