Extract Fan Cleaning in Harestock
Need extract fan cleaning in Harestock? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and photos.

- Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen cannot afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Fan housings and motors
The housing around the impeller catches grease flung off the blades. It’s scraped and degreased with the impeller.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Harestock
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but a fan can also need attention on its own, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you are dealing with a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and a fan shaking on its mounts, we can help, from axial fans, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans onwards.
For a smaller kitchen near Harestock, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Harestock
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Harestock in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Harestock, the Food Standards Agency lists about 11 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Harestock?
In Harestock, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
How often does the fan need cleaning?
The fan follows the full system’s interval at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
How long is a fan clean?
It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Your quote will give an idea.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. We work evenings, overnight or weekends, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
A clean won’t mend wear. We repair and replace extract fans as well, with a fixed quote first.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Don’t store items in front of the fan’s access point
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Check filters are seated before cooking
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Do not run the kitchen with the extract off. Grease settles faster when the air stops moving, so keeping it running helps keep it clean.
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Harestock.
- 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.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Harestock
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Harestock?
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. So grease often settles heavily there.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A fan left out of previous cleans
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Harestock Primary School or anywhere near Harestock, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by extract fan cleaning, and we will tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- A fan that’s too small for the system (a design question)
- A fan that will not start
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
Why deal with it now?
For a kitchen in Harestock, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. If the fan is coated, the duct before it usually is too so a full TR19 clean may be due. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
