Extract fan cleaning in Easton
The extract fan is the heart of the system: it draws the air through the canopy and ductwork and pushes it outside. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. If you have a fan left out of previous cleans and an extract fan that vibrates or rattles, we can put it right.
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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan housings and motors
Some fans use a belt drive. We clean around them and note any wear for your records.
Inline duct fans
An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. We find it during the survey and include it in the clean.
What affects the quote in Easton
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Damaged fan blades
- A motor that has burnt out
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

Questions from Easton
Which fire service covers Easton?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Will you come out to Easton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, because it unbalances the fan. It can also be wear in the bearings or motor, which our report will flag.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, where it makes sense. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes. A TR19 Grease clean covers everything from canopy to discharge, and the fan is a key part of it, so it’s cleaned too.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Run the extract throughout cooking
Once it’s clean, the fan is closed up and run to check it’s working smoothly. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, 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.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Easton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for 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 work begins.
Advice
Kitchen extracts in Easton
Easton lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Easton. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Easton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Historic houses near Easton, such as Mottistone Manor about 4.2 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Agnes' Church or anywhere around Easton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Landmarks near Easton
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Red Lion pub. Well-known places in the area include Yarmouth Castle (2.3 miles north) and Dimbola Museum And Galleries (under half a mile south). For a walk, there’s Afton Down and Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve.
When to call us in Easton
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- A motor area thick with grease
For schools such as All Saints Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What to look for in a quote
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
