Extract fan cleaning in Hattingley, done properly

Is the extract fan louder than it used to be, or the airflow weaker? Tell us about it when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for extract fan cleaning in Hattingley, typically within one working day. If you have a motor area thick with grease and a fan that hums, whines or rumbles, we can put it right, from roof-mounted fans, fan housings and axial fans onwards.

In a small place like Hattingley, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.

We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How we price extract fan cleaning

You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:

  • What state the system is in
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • The scale of the work

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Helping us quote

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Any previous report or certificate
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Hattingley questions

Which council inspects kitchens in Hattingley?

Food hygiene inspections in Hattingley are carried out by East Hampshire council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.

Can you get to a site in Hattingley?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hattingley is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Who has the legal duty for fire safety?

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

What makes a kitchen extract fan vibrate?

An unbalanced impeller, typically from uneven grease, is a common cause. After cleaning, we’ll tell you if wear or damage is also involved.

Where does the waste go?

Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.

Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?

Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we will tell you and quote for the repair.

Grease, kitchens and Hattingley

At about 50 miles from central London, Hattingley sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Hattingley. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Alton Community Hospital (about 4.1 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Historic houses near Hattingley, such as Bentworth Hall about 1.9 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Hattingley is about 5 miles west of Alton, in Hampshire. We provide extract fan cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Hattingley and the rest of Hampshire. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, and Hattingley is one of them. There’s also a page for Southampton, roughly 20 miles from Hattingley.

What we’re called out for in Hattingley

How fast a fan gets greasy in Hattingley depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.

Common reasons sites call us include:

  • A fan that no longer moves enough air
  • A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
  • Fat spreading onto the roof or wall by the fan
  • A heavily greased fan housing

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Hattingley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Our hiring checklist

Different parts, different methods

Roof-mounted fans

Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.

Inline duct fans

An inline fan can be easy to forget because it’s out of sight. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.

What staff can safely do

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

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, next to our reports.

Between visits

Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:

  • Look for grease stains near the discharge
  • Keep the grease filters clean and in place
  • Run the extract throughout cooking
  • Keep each photo report with the maintenance log

You get before and after photos of the impeller and housing. It notes what was done and anything that couldn’t be reached, along with the recommended next clean date.

Stick to the interval for the full extract. Regular full cleans keep the fan from building up heavy deposits, in line with BESA guidance.

What happens on the day

There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. For a village or hamlet like Hattingley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.

  1. First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
  2. With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
  3. The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
  4. We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
  5. The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Ask for a quote

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
