Extract fan cleaning in Hambrook, done properly
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Hambrook, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include grease stains around the discharge and rough running from the extract fan, across axial fans, in-line fans and discharge points.
Work in a small place like Hambrook starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Check filters are seated before cooking
- Report rattles or humming early
- Keep records of every fan clean
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.

Different parts, different methods
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
What extract fan cleaning can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
When to call us in Hambrook
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A heavily greased fan housing
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
- A fan that has never been cleaned
For schools such as Chidham Parochial Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before booking anyone
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Proof of insurance
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most single fans. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Hambrook.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Hambrook
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Hambrook out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Hambrook, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can sea air affect extract fan cleaning in Hambrook?
It can, as Hambrook is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you work out of hours?
Yes. Give us your opening hours with your enquiry and we will book around them.
How long is a fan clean?
A single accessible fan doesn’t take long, but hard-to-reach fans take more time. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Is Hambrook in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Hambrook.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Hambrook
At about 2 miles from the coast, Hambrook is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Hambrook. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Hambrook. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Havant War Memorial Hospital (about 4.7 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Wilfrid's Church and Hall or anywhere around Hambrook, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
