Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Foxcotte
If the extract fan in Foxcotte has become noisy, weak or greasy? Tell us about it when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Foxcotte, usually within one working day. The work covers roof-mounted fans, axial fans and in-line fans, and the jobs we see most are a heavily greased fan housing and an extract fan with no cleaning record.
In a small place like Foxcotte, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
You get before and after pictures of the impeller and housing. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Run the fan throughout cooking. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

How the job changes from site to site
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.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. We clean it along with the blades.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Foxcotte?
Poor filters mean a greasier fan. Missing, damaged or badly fitted filters let grease travel the whole system, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan shaking on its mounts
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Harrow Way Community School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan cleaning will not do:
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Wiring faults to the fan
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Foxcotte
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 15 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 12 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Foxcotte. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Food hygiene inspections in Foxcotte are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Foxcotte 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 Andover War Memorial Hospital about 0.9 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Thomas or anywhere around Foxcotte, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. The timing of a visit to Foxcotte is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Foxcotte questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Foxcotte?
Fire safety enforcement in Foxcotte is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can the work in Foxcotte be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan must be isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
Which accreditations do you hold?
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.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
