Leave it or put it right?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. In a place like Fishbourne, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Fishbourne
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. The work covers roof-mounted fans, centrifugal fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are grease escaping from the fan outlet and a fan shaking on its mounts.
In a village or hamlet like Fishbourne, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Report rattles or humming early
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Keep access to the fan clear
When the fan is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere like Fishbourne, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- Once isolated, we open the fan up.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- We run the fan and note its condition in the photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What the work involves, part by part
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans sit at the top of the riser. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, with any limits noted.
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. The outlet is checked as well as the fan.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Fishbourne
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 to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Questions from Fishbourne
Can you get to a site in Fishbourne?
Yes. Fishbourne is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you work in Fishbourne outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Extract fan cleaning around Fishbourne
Fishbourne lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Look up Fishbourne on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Fishbourne. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. In Fishbourne, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
For schools such as Wootton Community Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Mary's Hospital (about 3.9 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Fishbourne
How fast a fan gets greasy in Fishbourne depends on the cooking: how many hours a day the kitchen runs and what it cooks. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months for the whole system by daily use.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A heavily greased fan housing
Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Edmund's Church or anywhere around Fishbourne, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
