Part by part
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we can’t reach is recorded.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Fairlee
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. The work covers fan housings, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans, and common reasons people get in touch are fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan and grease around the motor and its mounts.
In a village or hamlet like Fairlee, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
File the photo report with your other extract records. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
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.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Fairlee
Do you work overnight in Fairlee?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Fairlee keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire authority looks after Fairlee?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Fairlee. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
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. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it can’t run during the clean. That means the extract is off, so we clean while the kitchen is closed.
Can you clean the fan on its own?
Yes, we do. The report will make clear that only the fan was cleaned, so your TR19 records stay accurate. The full system still needs its regular TR19 clean.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Fairlee and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Fairlee
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across the Isle of Wight. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Fairlee
The FSA’s data shows about 16 pubs, bars and clubs and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered in Fairlee and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Fairlee. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Fairlee get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Medina College, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Paul's Church or anywhere around Fairlee, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Mary's Hospital (about 0.8 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
