About our extract fan cleaning in Hart Plain
Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? A few details or a photo help when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will give you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Hart Plain, normally within one working day. The work covers fan housings, axial fans and roof-mounted fans, and the jobs we see most are hot, greasy smells near the fan and a motor area thick with grease.
In a smaller place like Hart Plain, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Grease, kitchens and Hart Plain
There are about 36 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 28 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hart Plain, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. Fire safety in Hart Plain falls to 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. It’s Havant council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hart Plain. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Hart Plain Church or elsewhere in Hart Plain, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hart Plain Infant School or anywhere near Hart Plain, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Hart Plain
Each blade collects a slightly different amount. The difference throws the impeller off balance, wearing bearings and mounts. What starts as a grease problem can become a mechanical one.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hart Plain is Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 3.5 miles south-east.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether they recommend a next date
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Different parts, different methods
Wall fans
The wall around a wall fan can be stained with grease. We clean the fan and check the outlet.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so we plan how to reach and clean them. If it can’t be reached fully, the report says so.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We plan the journey to Hart Plain and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
Hart Plain: your questions answered
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Hart Plain out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Hart Plain, the Food Standards Agency lists about 7 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hart Plain?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hart Plain. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
A single accessible fan does not take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
It has to be off and isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, where it makes sense. We will often suggest checking the duct too, as a greasy fan usually means a greasy duct, but the choice is yours.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that sounds rough in Hart Plain is often telling you the extract needs a clean. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it, so it’s worth checking the whole system. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep access to the fan clear
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- File the fan’s report with your other records
We take away the grease and dirty water from the fan clean. On a roof or outside wall, we leave the surrounding area tidy.
Keep the route to the fan clear. A fan that can be reached safely is a fan that gets cleaned, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
