Extract Fan Cleaning in Gunville
Extract fan cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Gunville. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- A motor area thick with grease
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Report grease escaping from the fan
- Report rattles or humming early
- Never cook with a filter missing
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If only the fan is cleaned, the photo report says so.
Make sure the fan is reachable. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Gunville
Every kitchen extract depends on its fan: it pulls air from the canopy, through the duct and out of the building. Whatever grease slips past the filters and duct reaches the fan and we clean it off. If you have an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and thick grease on the impeller and casing, we can help, from axial fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans onwards.
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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
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 we clean what we safely can.
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Gunville: your questions answered
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Gunville in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 13 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Gunville. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which fire service covers Gunville?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. The visit is timed for when the area is not in use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
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 offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Honest limits
Extract fan cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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 the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What affects the quote in Gunville
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

Gunville kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 51 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 20 sandwich bars and takeaways in Gunville and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Gunville sits within the area of 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. Food hygiene inspections in Gunville are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Carisbrooke Castle is about 0.8 miles south-east), access may need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Mary's Church, or anywhere in Gunville, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Mary's Hospital (about 1.2 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Why it’s worth doing now in Gunville
Grease on a roof fan can also escape outside. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. A planned visit to Gunville is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Gunville and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
