Extract fan cleaning in Funtley
A fan never collects grease in a neat, even layer. Uneven build-up unbalances the impeller, which brings vibration, noise and extra wear on the bearings and motor. A thorough clean removes the cause. We are often asked to deal with rough running from the extract fan and fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan, across axial fans, fan housings and discharge points.
For a kitchen in or near Funtley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease, kitchens and Funtley
The coast is only about 3 miles from Funtley. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s data shows about 6 pubs and bars registered in and around Funtley, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. It’s Fareham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Funtley. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Francis, or anywhere in Funtley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Orchard Lea Infant School or anywhere near Funtley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Funtley is about 1 mile north of Fareham, in Hampshire. Across the PO15 area, we cover extract fan cleaning for commercial sites. Funtley is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for commercial clients. Our Portsmouth page covers sites nearby, about 7 miles away.
Extract fan cleaning in PO15, PO17 and PO16 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Whether your site is on Funtley Road, Stag Way and Roebuck Avenue or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work. Other places close to Funtley include Knowle (1 mile north), Heathfield (1 mile south), Tapnage (1 mile north), Catisfield (2 miles south-west) and Titchfield Park (2 miles west).

Well-known places in the area include Carron Row Farm Museum (1.5 miles south-west) and Fareham Shopping Centre (1.7 miles south-east). The countryside around Funtley includes Portsdown Hill and Swanwick Lakes.
Why act early in Funtley
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Funtley is calmer for everyone.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Funtley
The cooler the air, the more grease drops out, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Funtley is Knowle Hospital, about 0.7 miles north.

- What hours they’ll be on site

What else we do in Funtley
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Funtley.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it can’t start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and photos go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote

Questions from Funtley
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Funtley in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 12 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Funtley. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is extract fan cleaning any different in a coastal place like Funtley?
It can. Salt air reaches Funtley, which is within about 3 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can the work be done while we are closed?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we’ll book around them.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
The fan follows the full system’s interval at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. We plan it out of hours.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
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.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
