Extract fan cleaning in Havant
Cleaning removes grease, not wear. If we find worn bearings, a struggling motor or damage to the impeller, we’ll tell you and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You’ll know whether the fan just needed cleaning or something more. If you’re dealing with a fan motor running hot under a coat of grease and thick grease on the impeller and casing, we can put it right, from discharge points, axial fans and fan housings onwards.
For a pub, café or restaurant in a town like Havant, losing a day’s trade to cleaning isn’t an option, so cleans are booked after closing, early in the morning or on a quiet day. By the next service, the kitchen is ready to cook in again.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep records of every fan clean
- Leave a clear route to the fan
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
When we have finished, the fan is reassembled and run. If anything seems wrong, from vibration to wear, we note it, so you can plan any repair.
Keep the whole system on its cleaning cycle. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
Common questions in Havant
Can you come to Havant after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Havant keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in Havant?
That is Havant council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Havant. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you fix a fan that’s worn out?
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.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Havant?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
How long is a fan clean?
That depends on the fan’s size, its position and how much grease there is. Typically it takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach.
Will I get pictures of the cleaned fan?
Before and after photos go into a report, along with notes on the fan’s condition. For a full TR19 clean, you also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How we price extract fan cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For extract fan cleaning in Havant, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so the method is planned in advance. If it cannot be reached fully, the report says so.
What extract fan cleaning looks like in Havant
Havant lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Look up Havant on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 47 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 44 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Havant. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Havant 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Francis or elsewhere in Havant, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Havant War Memorial Hospital (about 0.6 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. Photos taken on a phone are normally enough for us to plan a job in Havant and give a fixed quote.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote

Advice
Other services in Havant
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Havant and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Havant
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.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Trosnant Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
