Extract fan cleaning in Gundleton, done properly
If the ducts are the arteries, the fan is the heart. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. Typical jobs include a fan coated in grease inside its housing and a motor area thick with grease, across in-line fans, roof-mounted fans and discharge points.
In a village or hamlet like Gundleton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Extract fan cleaning in Gundleton: the local picture
We cover Gundleton, about 52 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. In Gundleton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
School kitchens, at schools like Perins School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Gundleton (Hinton Ampner House is about 4 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Gundleton: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Gundleton?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Gundleton. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Gundleton?
The local authority for Gundleton is East Hampshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we’ll plan the visit around them.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Should the extract fan be cleaned as part of TR19?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What happens on the day
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. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere like Gundleton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Why deal with it now?
An unbalanced fan gets worse, not better. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure and a kitchen can’t cook safely without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. A planned visit to Gundleton is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
What affects the quote in Gundleton
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What we are called out for in Gundleton
Grease condenses as the air cools, and a fan out on a roof or wall often sits where the air is coolest. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Burning smells from the fan area
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A fan left out of previous cleans
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Gundleton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before booking anyone
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
