Extract fan cleaning in Elmfield, done properly
Kitchen extract fans come in different forms: roof-mounted units, inline fans within the duct, and wall fans. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you have vibration from an unbalanced impeller and a fan that no longer moves enough air, we can put it right, from axial fans, discharge points and fan housings onwards.
Around a smaller place like Elmfield, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why it’s worth doing now in Elmfield
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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 to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- 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 pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Elmfield can normally be finished without a second trip.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- A motor that has burnt out
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Elmfield
A fan in Elmfield 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.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
- Hot, greasy smells near the fan
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Oakfield Church of England Aided Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Common questions in Elmfield
Does the sea air around Elmfield make a difference to extract fan cleaning?
It can. Elmfield is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Do you work in villages like Elmfield?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Elmfield is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes. The whole system is cleaned, from the canopy to the discharge, and the fan sits right in that path, so it’s cleaned too.
How long is a fan clean?
A single accessible fan does not take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. We plan it out of hours.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Air that keeps moving carries vapour out rather than letting it settle, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
Grease, kitchens and Elmfield
Elmfield lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. There are about 58 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 23 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Elmfield, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. The fire and rescue service for Elmfield is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Gosport War Memorial Hospital about 5.1 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A kitchen near Ryde St Johns Road station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Elmfield is about 1 mile south-east of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Elmfield gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. Our the Isle of Wight coverage runs to 125 places, and Elmfield is one of them. Portsmouth is in our area too, around 7 miles away.
Every address in PO33 is within our area for extract fan cleaning, from busy streets to back roads. If you need extract fan cleaning at premises on Park Road, Rink Road and Hope Road or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work. Elmfield is on the A3055, which makes it straightforward for our technicians to reach for extract fan cleaning. Close by, we work in Oakfield (1 mile west), Appley (1 mile north-east), Westridge (1 mile south), Ryde (1 mile north-west) and Puckpool (1 mile north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (7 miles west), Cowes (7 miles west), Sandown (5 miles south), Shanklin (6 miles south), Ventnor (9 miles south) and East Cowes (6 miles west). If your site is somewhere remote, the visit takes a little more planning, so mention it when you ask for a quote.
