Grease, kitchens and Emsworth
Sea air reaches Emsworth, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Look up Emsworth on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 20 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 10 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Emsworth. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Food hygiene inspections in Emsworth are the job of Havant council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A kitchen near Emsworth station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. For schools such as St James Church of England Controlled Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

About our extract fan cleaning in Emsworth
Not all extract fans are the same: 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’re dealing with weak extraction at the canopy and burning smells from the fan area, we can put it right, from centrifugal fans, discharge points and in-line fans onwards.
For a smaller kitchen near Emsworth, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the motor runs under more strain. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Everything the job in Emsworth needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Space around an inline fan can be tight, so the method is planned in advance. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
FAQs for Emsworth
Does the sea air around Emsworth make a difference to extract fan cleaning?
It can. Salt air reaches Emsworth, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Emsworth?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Emsworth. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?
Build-up on the impeller is a frequent reason, since uneven grease makes it run out of balance. Worn bearings and motor problems are others, which our report will flag.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. It’s useful when a fan is noisy or greasy between full cleans, but it doesn’t replace a full TR19 clean.
Does a TR19 kitchen extract clean cover the fan?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. We clean it alongside the canopy, ductwork and discharge.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem 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.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Emsworth
A greasy fan in Emsworth is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire, and a hot, struggling motor doesn’t help.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A motor area thick with grease
Where a hall near Church of St James, or anywhere in Emsworth, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When the next visit should be, and why
- If they look at the system before pricing
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- Wiring faults to the fan
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
