Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Grateley
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Grateley
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a fan can also need attention on its own, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. The work covers axial fans, discharge points and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are grease stains around the discharge and a fan that has never been cleaned.
In a village or hamlet like Grateley, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease around the motor can make it run hotter, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Kitchen extracts in Grateley
In Grateley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Grateley is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Leonard, or anywhere in Grateley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 5.4 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Grateley
A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
Commuter trade near Grateley station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Questions from Grateley
Which fire authority looks after Grateley?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Grateley. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Will you come out to Grateley?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Grateley is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How long is a fan clean?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Grateley?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen cannot cook while we work. That’s why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, where it makes sense. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Grateley and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Grateley.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
Cleaning the fan in Grateley now is a short job: it takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Leaving it means more wear, more noise and a bigger clean later. If the system at a site near Grateley fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
