What extract fan cleaning looks like in Godshill
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Godshill. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Godshill is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Godshill. 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.
Historic houses near Godshill, such as Sheat Manor about 2.5 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Godshill Primary School or anywhere near Godshill, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Godshill
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you have thick grease on the impeller and casing and an extract fan with no cleaning record, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What else we do in Godshill
How it works
There are three stages on the day: 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 an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. For a village or hamlet like Godshill, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- 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.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

What we’re called out for in Godshill
A fan in Godshill builds up grease at a rate set by the kitchen, not the location: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Rough running from the extract fan
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
Where a hall near All Saints' Church, or anywhere in Godshill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Godshill
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Report rattles or humming early
- Run the extract throughout cooking
- Flag smoke lingering at the canopy
- Never cook with a filter missing
You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- Damaged fan blades
- A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Roof-mounted fans
Godshill: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Godshill?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which environmental health team covers Godshill?
Kitchens in Godshill are inspected by Isle of Wight council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
The fan follows the full system’s interval, from every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours of cooking a day to every 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. In a small place like Godshill, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
