How we handle extract fan cleaning in Ellisfield
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. The way in depends on the type and the survey shows us how to reach it. The work covers in-line fans, fan housings and roof-mounted fans, and people most often call us about a noisy fan that has got louder over time and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan.
In a small place like Ellisfield, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Ellisfield
Food hygiene inspections in Ellisfield are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. We cover Ellisfield, about 47 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hall Place is about 3.9 miles south), access may need planning. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital is the nearest hospital to Ellisfield, about 5.1 miles north.

Part by part
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. Anything out of reach is recorded.
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and grease builds up on them unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Ellisfield run smoothly.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Questions from Ellisfield

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Ellisfield needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which environmental health team covers Ellisfield?
The local authority for Ellisfield is Basingstoke and Deane 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.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. Cleaning may sort it, but worn bearings or a failing motor need a repair.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An impeller that is bent or split
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens if it’s left?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen can’t cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. In a small place like Ellisfield, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
